Listen to your mama and you never will regret it
'Cause if anybody wonders, you can can tell 'em that I said it
The only thing I know is that I never can forget you
I been longin' for you baby ever since the day I met you
I got you where I want you
I'll never gonna let you get away from me
Do what I tell you!

I'm the girl for you, so you better start to face it
If you ever lose my love, you know you never can replace it
I think it's time for you to start giving me some lovin'
'Cause I'm carrying a torch for you that's hotter than an oven
I think it's time for you to give me a little turtle-dovin'
Baby, hold me tight and do what I tell you
