Lyrics
What a spot, this, not so hot, this
Hey there shy one, come be my one
Please don’t rush off, want no brush off
I can’t compel you to buy what I’d sell you
But I’ve got to tell you like so
Chorus
You wanna have bells that’ll ring
You wanna have songs that’ll sing?
You want your sky a baby blue?
You gotta have me go with you
Hey, you fool you, why so cool you
When I’m ready to go steady?
You wanna have eyes that’ll shine
You wanna have grapes on the vine
You want a love that’s truly true?
You gotta have me go with you
Why the hold out? Have you sold out?
Time you woke up, time you spoke up
This line I’m handing you is not a hand out
As a team we’d be a stand-out
You wanna live high on a dime?
You wanna have two hearts in rhyme?
Gotta have me go with you all the time
