Lyrics
When it comes to love
I’m still a silly kid
But I’m not guilty of
What mother would forbid
Right tonight if I could go on the radio
I’d say like the prizefighter did
Chorus
Hello ma! I done it again
I got the funniest yen
And before I knew it
I was in somebody’s arms
Y’know ma, how gentlemen are
He took me out in his car
And before I knew it
We were surrounded by farms
Then we spoke of the drought
And we chatted about his old uncle Ben
Then he asked for a kiss
And I gave him a kiss and then, then
Hello ma! I done it again
I got the funniest yen
And before I knew it
My heart said do it
And I fell in love again
