I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you

Ooh love – Ooh Loverboy
What’re you doin’ tonight, hey boy –
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That’s because I’m a good old-fashioned loverboy

Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (grow faster, faster)
Ooh Ooh let me feel your love heat
Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after-all
I’d like for you and I to go romancing

Say the word – your wish is my command
Ooh love – Ooh loverboy
What’re you doin’ tonight, hey boy
Write my letter
Feel much better
I’ll use my fancy patter on the telephone
When I’m not with you
I think of you always
I miss you –
(I miss those long hot summer nights)
When I’m not with you
Think of me always
I love you – Love you

Hey boy where do you get it from
Hey boy where did you go?
I learned my passion in the good old
fashioned school of loverboys-
Dining at the Ritz we’ll meet at nine precisely
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style, in my saloon will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours that will be fine (Come on and get it)

Ooh love, Ooh loverboy
What’re you doin’ tonight, hey boy –
Everything’s all right
Just hold on tight –
That’s because I’m a good old fashioned loverboy
