Well, baby, I'd like to come
to see you sometime
To tell you I've got a proposition
on my mind
If you'd let me, yeah, if you'd let me
Well, baby, if you'd let me
come around sometime
Well, how's about it, baby,
could I sort of hang around?
Now you know that I'm
the best man in town
Ain't got no money,
but I got a lot of love
Well, I'll be the man
you've been dreaming of
If you'll let me sorta hang around
I wanna put my arms around you
and hold you close
And tell you that you're
the one I love the most
If you'll let me
Yeah, if you'll let me
Well, baby,
if you'd let me just any old time
Well, how's about it, baby?
Could I sorta hang around?
Now, you know that I'm
the best man in town
Ain't got no money,
but I got a lot of love
Well, I'll be the man
you've been dreaming of
If you'll let me
Sort of hang around
Well, your mama don't like me
Papa said he'd break my neck
But I'd still be your loving wreck
If you would let me, yeah
If you would let me, do, do
Oh, baby, if you let me,
well, I'd feel mighty proud
How's about it, baby,
could I sort of hang around?
Now, you know that I'm
the best man in town
Ain't got no money,
but I got a lot of love
Well, I'll be the man
you've been dreaming of
If you would let me sort of hang around
