[2: Oh!]
[3: Look!]
Verse 2:
Got what I got
The hard way
And I'll make it better
Each and every day
So, honey
Don't you fret
'Cause you ain't seen
Nothin' yet
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
I was brought up
On a side street (listen, now)
I learned how to love
Before I could eat
I was educated
At Woodstock*
When I start lovin'
Oh, I can't stop
* no, not the Woodstock where the hippies would roll around in
the mud two years later - there was a school by that name
in/near Memphis
[repeat chorus]

Grab a rope and I'll pull you in

Give you hope and be your only boyfriend, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah!)
