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
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)

Of all the lonely nights that you put me through
Come on baby let's sit down, talk about it, close the deal
