Yeah little girl, let's take a walk
Then on the jaunt, we'll have a talk
Hey little girl, won't you say you're mine
Hey little girl, baby say you're mine
Well you know I go with you, 'cause you're so fine
Hey little girl, baby close the door
Well come on little girl, let's rock some more
Well now come on little girl, you're a real gone kid
Oh little girl, you're a real gone kid
If you say you're mine, I'm gonna flip my lid
Hey little girl, well I love you so
Yeah little girl, you know I love you so
Well now come on little girl, I'll never let you go
