Let's go!

Don't wantcha for the weekend, don't wantcha for a night
I'm only interested if I can have you for life, yeah
Uh, I know I sound seriously and baby, I am
You're a fine piece of real estate, and I'm gonna get me some land

Oh, yeah
So, don't try to run, honey, love can be fun
There's no need to be alone when you find that someone

(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha while I gotcha in sight
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha if it takes all night
(Yeah, you can betcha)
You can betcha by the time I say "go," you'll never say "no"
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha, it's a matter of fact
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha, don'tcha worry 'bout that
(Yeah, you can betcha)
You can bet your bottom dollar, in time you're gonna be mine
Just like I should - I'll getcha good

Yeah,
I've already planned it
Here's how it's gonna be
I'm gonna love you, and you're gonna fall in love with me
Yeah

So, don't try to run, honey, love can be fun
There's no need to be alone when you find that someone

(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha while I gotcha in sight
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha if it takes all night
(Yeah, you can betcha)
You can betcha by the time I say "go," you'll never say "no"
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha, it's a matter of fact
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha, don'tcha worry 'bout that
(Yeah, you can betcha)
You can bet your bottom dollar, in time you're gonna be mine
Just like I should - I'll getcha good

Uh, uh
Yeah, I'm gonna getcha, baby
I'm gonna knock on wood
I'm gonna getcha somehow, honey
Yeah, I'm gonna make it good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, yeah
So, don't try to run, hone, love can be fun
There's no need to be alone when you find that someone

I'm gonna getcha, it's a matter of fact
(I'm gonna getcha)
I'm gonna getcha, don'tcha worry 'bout that
(Yeah, you can betcha)
You can bet your bottom dollar, in time you're gonna be mine

Oh I'm gonna getcha
I'm gonna getcha really good
But you can betcha oh I'm gonna getcha




Just like I should I'll getcha good
Oh I'm gonna getcha good
