Lyrics

  1. Just a little friendly “Yoo-hoo”
    Kindly introduced me to you
    Happy was the day when you blew
    Into my heart
    Cuddle up a little closer
    Don’t you dare to answer “no sir”
    Let me hear you whisper “oh sir
    When do we start?”

Chorus
Sweet child, you’re drivin’ me wild
That’s putting it mild
Sweet child, I’m wild about you
Say when you’re gonna say “when”
Then say it again
Sweet child, I’m wild about you
I want to say to each fellow I meet
Say by the way that’s my baby
Ain’t she sweet
Sweet child, I’m putting it mild
Say, honest and true
Sweet child, I’m wild about you

  1. Honey, won’t you hear my pleading
    Just a little love I’m needing
    What’s the reason you’re unheeding
    Listen to me
    Tho’ you don’t return my yearning
    Here’s a little bit of learning
    Every roadway has a turning
    Wait’ll you see

Chorus
Sweet child, you’re drivin’ me wild
That’s putting it mild
Sweet child, I’m wild about you
Say when you’re gonna say “when”
Then say it again
Sweet child, I’m wild about you
I’ve got a flat, got a cat and kittens, too
I’ve got a mat that I bought to welcome you
Sweet child, I’m putting it mild
Say, honest and true
Sweet child, I’m wild about you
