The Dramatics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby
You know sometimes you make me want to scream

Oh... ho... oh... oh... oh... ooh...
Mmm... hmm... mmm...
Oh... ho... mmm...
Sugar, sugar, sugar, please would you
Yeah, yeah

All was not lost today
Your brown eyes converted me
And let me know
That you're the right girl for me

You don't need to (You don't)
You don't need to (Need to)
You don't need (Offer same love)
You don't need (I offer you)

It would be a shame
To let someone else
Take my place, ooh
(Take my place, now)

You've got me dreaming (Got me dreaming)
I can tell
Without you being there
So stop this mistreating me (Stop this mistreating)

I want to stay with you (I want to stay)
I want to lay with you (I want to lay)
I want to be your man
Be my girl

Be my girl, be my girl (Mmm)
Be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl (Woo... ooh... hoo... hoo... hoo...)

I need you
In a desperate way
All the girls I met
Were so full of play
It's not even a bother
If I forgot their names, oh, yeah (Do you mind)

In the minute I first saw you
Then every, every, every teenage fantasy came true
But you look the other way
Am I walkin' for day
Broke my spirit, broke my spirit {Now}

You've got me dreaming (Got me dreaming)
And I can tell
Without you bein' there
So stop this mistreating me (Stop this mistreating)

Oh, I want to stay with you (I want to stay)
I want to lay with you (I want to lay)
I want to be your man (Ooh... hoo... hoo... hoo... hoo...)

Be my girl
My girl, be my girl {Be my girl}
Ho... ho... ho... ho... {Baby}

Be my girl (My girl) {Baby}, be my girl (Won't you be my girl)
Be my girl {Hey...}
(Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...)

Won't you be my girl (My girl), be my girl (Hey, hey)
Be my girl
Won't you be my girl (My girl and say to me)

{Won't you be my girl} Be my girl (My girl), be my girl (My girl)
Be my girl {I want you to be my girl}
(My girl, won't you please)
I want you to be my girl (Be my girl)
