Girl you sure look good to me
You got me reelin' and a-rockin'
But I can't believe it's me
You know I give you all my money
Girl but she just won't treat me right
You like to ball in the morning
But I'm gonna tell tell my mama
Lawdy what you've been doin' to me

Just like a willow tree
When I lawdy lawdy lawdy Miss Clawdy
Girl you sure look good to me
