[Verse 1]
Baby, here I stand before you with my heart in my hand
I put it to read it, mama, hoping that you'll understand
Well, baby, mama, please don't dog me 'round
I would rather love you, baby, than anyone else I know in town

[Verse 2]
Well this is my confession, mama, and I'm thrilled by all your charm
It seems that I'm in Heaven, mama, when you hold me in your arms
Well, baby, can I have you for myself?
If I can't have you, baby, I don't want nobody else

[Verse 3]
Oh, when my days are long and dreary and the sun refuse to shine
I would never weep low and lonely if I knew that you were mine
Well, baby, make everything alright
And I have you, too, baby or will it be tomorrow night?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Well, baby, don't you want a man like me?
Well, baby, don't you want a man like me?
You think only about the future, forget about your used-to-be
