I’ve got some records here
to put you in the mood.
The phone is off the hook
so no one can intrude.
I feel romantic
and the record changes automatic, baby.

Sweetheart, we hurried through the dinner
and we hurried through the dance.
We left before the picture show was through.
Why did we hurry through the dinner
and hurry through the dance?
To leave some time for this.
To hug and hug and kiss and kiss.

Take off your shoesies, dear,
and loosen up your tie.
I got some kisses here.
Let’s try one on for size.
Turn the lights low. Oooh, turn ’em low.
Whoa, baby.

Don’t lead me on, pretty baby,
don’t get me wrong, pretty baby.
I can get comfortable.
Bop bop do wadda wadda wadda, baby,
your perfume is driving me crazy.
Ooh, to hug and hug and kiss and kiss.

Now, baby, take off your shoes
and loosen up you tie.
I got some kisses here.
Let’s try one on for size.
Turn the lights low. Come on, turn ’em low.
Ohh, baby.

Sha boomp boomp bah dah boomp bah dah boomp.
Bah ba dah ba wee eeh bah ba dweeb bah pretty baby.
You know I just wanna take you up with me to paradise.
Boy ya da bah do bah do do bah buh bah da.
Please pour a little bit of wine, will ya pretty baby?
Pretty baby, why don’t you come on over here
and get comfortable? Make yourself comfortable.
All I really wanna hear is that
ya really like what I’m givin’.
And I hope that you know I love you.
Darlin’! Look how much time
it took me to say I love you!
Look what I went through to say I love you!
