Lyrics
Well, you're a sweet, little one - With your face shining like the sun
T-T-Tell me "pretty mama" - What do you see in me?
Well, I'm glad we've had our fun - But I'm afraid that we're all done
You shouldn't have any trouble finding someone
If only we had met sooner - Some of this may have worked out
If only we had met sooner - I might be loving you some how
If only we had met sooner - I might be loving you right now
But, I’m afraid; you’re too late - Because I found the perfect mate
You see I've got this little fire, - Who says I'm not for hire,
You shouldn’t mistake lust for love's sake –
And it's true life lives for desire
But no, I'm no liar -One dose of affection might be too many
