Beres Hammond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ooh ooh ooh yeah! yeah!)

Hey little girl each time you passed my way I'm tempted to touch (ooh baby)
The dress you wear, your perfume, keeps me wanting you so much
Now I

Can't help thinking of you
Of all the lonely nights that you put me through
Come on baby let's get down, talk about it close the deal
Good vintage wine sweet conversation you and I, let start it
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Now I'm gonna make sure of this time
A love like yours will never leave me again behind

Hey little girl each time you passed my way I'm tempted to touch (ooh)
The dress you wear, your perfume, keeps me wanting you so much
So much so much baby

Now I can't help thinking of you
Of all the lonely nights that you put me through

Hey little girl each time you passed my way I'm tempted to touch (ooh)
The dress you wear, your perfume, keeps me wanting you so much
So much so much baby

Now I can't help thinking of you
Of all the lonely nights that you put me through





Come on baby let's sit down, talk about it, close the deal
Good vintage wine sweet conversation you and I, let start it
