Lyrics

Down on the street I see you
Out on the comer talkin'
You and your sister with her little child
You're lush, strong and sweet, and oh my darlin'
When I see you walkin'
You look so good you drive me wild

(Pre-hook)
So darlin', come along with me
to my apartment by that willow tree
There it's you and me, and me and you
And we can do the things that beasts in spring do

(Hook)
Why don't you come on over?
Why don't you come and see?
Why don't you come on over?
and play with me!

Why don't you come on over?
Why don't you come and see?
Why don't you come on over?
and play with me!

Solo

(Hook)

Why don't you come on over?
Why don't you come and see?
Why don't you come on over?
and play with me!

Why don't you come on over?
Why don't you come and see?
Why don't you come on over?
and play with me!

(Verse 2)
I walk on by, then turn back
and wink and catch you smilin'
Sister sees it too, she knows what's goin' down
She says 'oh me oh my! I've got my laundry
and my hair needs stylin'
Why don't you two go out on the town?'

(Prehook)

So darlin', come along with me
to my apartment by that willow tree
There it's you and me, and me and you
And we can do the things that beasts in spring do

(Hook)

Why don't you come on over?
Why don't you come and see?
Why don't you come on over?
and play with me!

Why don't you come on over?
Why don't you come and see?
Why don't you come on over?
and play with me!
