Lyrics
Saw you when you walkin down the street the other day
And you were looking like a king of a man
And every pretty angel tried so hard to catch your eye
But I could tell you didn't give a good god damn.
When you were a boy your momma raised you up real fine
And gave you all the grace and charm that you could use
And all the little girls undid your shoes and watched your house
And you had all the women singing out the blues
Chorus
But if you keep comin over babe
I'm gonna take it that you wanna be mine
If you keep comin over babe
I'm gonna take it that it works just fine
Come on over here, come over x3
Come over to me.
Get me up an aisle or in a street or in a room
And I can tell you you'll be happy that you did
Momma loved me too and gave me bags of tricks and charm
But I've been managing to keep it all well hid
Chorus.
