Lyrics
I heard you strumming on your window sill,
“Moon River” take me home.
I’ll hold on to you tightly,
you’re my Holy Go Lightly.
Come on in from the cold.
I caught you peeping at me sleeping Love.
You drink my whiskey and my wine.
Baby I can see,
you’ve got diamonds in your dreams,
when your body’s next to mine.
You walk these city streets on someone else’s dime.
You look so good on me
when you’re wasting all my time!
You’ve got me grooving through and through.
It’s like you haven’t got a clue.
You make me wanna do a little
Bebop a Lula lady,
Just be my baby!
Come and slide a little apple butter my way babe
I’ll be your flutter bum alright.
Forget those other men!
I want you more than just a friend.
Don’t see no sharp dressed sisters here in sight.
You walk these city streets on someone else’s dime.
You look so good on me
when you’re wasting all my time!
You’ve got me grooving through and through.
It’s like you haven’t got a clue.
You make me wanna do a little
Bebop a Lula lady,
Just be my baby tonight!
Now that you’re in orbit, I’ll be earthbound.
I’ll take you where you wanna go.
Raise you up as number one,
do the things we’ve never done.
Holly let me tell you you’re the most.
You walk these city streets on someone else’s dime.
You look so good on me
when you’re wasting all my time!
You’ve got me grooving through and through.
It’s like you haven’t got a clue.
You make me wanna do a little
Bebop a Lula lady,
Just be my baby tonight!
Just be my baby alright
Oh now Holly little girl,
Let me tell you you’re out of sight!
