Lyrics
Comes to lovin’ you’re faint-hearted
I want kisses, but you don’t care
Comes to lovin’ can’t get started
Time for lovin’ and you’re not there
Baby, we’re not gettin’ anywhere, Oh!
Chorus
You’re lettin’ the grass grow right under your feet
You’re lettin’ the grass grow on a busy street
Don’t you know that love is grand?
Don’t you know I’m in demand?
Oh I gotta have love, I gotta have love?
I gotta know where I stand, yeah!
Someone’s gonna steal me right under your eyes
Why wait till they steal me? you’d better get wise
Give out with those kisses, baby, be sweet
You’re lettin’ the grass grow right under your feet
