[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ow, yeah

[Verse 1]
Hear me out, all around me
Pretty women, pretty women everywhere (Everywhere, yeah)
I ain't got nobody
Lord, I think it's so unfair (So unfair, yeah)
Patience, they say it's a virtue
That's what I've been told

[Chorus]
But I got to get my hands on some lovin' before I'm too old
(Before I grow) Too old (Too old)
Yeah (Yeah, ah)

[Verse 2]
I just had a conversation between me, myself and I
Said I'm gonna walk right up to one of you foxy devils
Gonna take you by surprise (By surprise)
Say I got love in my soul, I, I'm gonna get bold

[Chorus]
'Cause I got to get my hands on some lovin' before I'm too old
(Before I grow) Much too old (Too old)
Yeah (Yeah, ah)

Now hear me out, all around me
Pretty women, pretty women everywhere (Everywhere, yeah)
