Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Baby

Here I am

I'm a man on the scene

I can give you what you want

But you got to go home with me

I forgot some good old lovin'

And I got some in store

When I get to throwin' it on you

You got to come back for more

Boys and things will come by the dozen

That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'

Pretty little thing, let me light you candle

'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle, now, yes I am

[Verse 2]

Action speaks louder than words

And I'm a man with a great experience

I know you got you another man

But I can love you better than him

Take my hand, don't be afraid

I wanna prove every word I say

I'm advertisin' love for free

So won't you place your ad with me?

Boys will come a dime by the dozen

But that ain't nothin' but ten cent love

Pretty little thing, let me light you candle

'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle, now, yes I am

[Verse 3]

Baby, here I am

I'm a man on the scene

I can give you what you want

Just come go home with me

I forgot some good old lovin'

And I got some in store

When I get through throwin' it on you

You got to come back for more

Boy will come a dime by the dozen

But that ain't nothin' but drugstore love

Pretty little thing, let me light you candle

'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle, now, yes I am

[Verse 4]

Uh, give it to me

I got to have it

Give me some good 'ole lovin'

Some of your good lovin'
