All my life I've been a lonely man
Lookin' for love all over this land
I thought I found love about a year ago
With a check-out girl at the grocery store
She was just lookin' for a millionaire
And I was lookin' at her derriere
I was playin' the blues in a 4-piece band
She said, "That's Alright" Oooh
Just gimme watcha' got ... Alright
Just gimme watcha' got ... O.K.
Well, you like your cookies and
you like your pies
I like big booties and big fat thighs
You can't cook and you can't sew
And there's a whole lotta other stuff u don't know
So just write your number on the palm of my hand
You're a sweet little lady, I'm a full grown man
I'm ready to rock and I'm ready to roll
Don't worry 'bout a thang girl...
Just gimme watcha' got ... Alright
Just gimme watcha' got ... O.K.
You could do a lot for me
I could do a whole lot for you
Love is more than just a word
Love is the only thing, we know is true
Well what you mean you wanna take it slow?
I'm all wrapped up and I'm ready to go
Can't you see that I'm serious
'Cause we don't walk, we ride the bus
Together we can make it, we can go far
And one day we'll buy our very own car
But the very best things in life are free
So don't worry 'bout a thang, girl
Just gimme watcha' got ... Alright
Just gimme watcha' got ... O.K.
