Well, come on pretty baby, won’t you walk with me?
Come on, pretty baby, won’t you talk with me?
Come on pretty baby, give me one more chance
Try to save our romance!
Slow down, baby, now you’re movin’ way too fast
You gotta gimme little lovin’, gimme little lovin’
Ow! If you want our love to last
Well, I used to walk you home, baby, after school
Carry your books home, too
But now you got a boyfriend down the street
Baby what you’re tryin’ to do?
You better slow down!
Baby, now you’re movin’ way too fast
You gotta gimme little lovin’, gimme little lovin’
Bbbbb! If you want our love to last
Well you know that I love you, tell the world I do
Come on, pretty baby, why can’t you be true?
I need your lovin’ baby, oh so bad
The best little woman I ever had
Slow down, baby, now you’re movin’ way too fast
You gotta gimme little lovin’, gimme little lovin’
Ow! If you want our love to last
