You’ve been wishin’, all of your life
For a woman that’ll love you
Tell the truth and treat you right
And you’ve been lonely
Cryin’ yourself to sleep
Now you’ve got a girl
Who can rock your world
Put a smile on your face
And love you’re gonna keep now
This is the beginning
Are you ready to learn
To love somebody for a lifetime
Wake up it’s your turn
So tell me, now thatcha’ got her
The whole enchilada
Now thatcha’ got her
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
Are you gonna be
Any better
Than the man you had to be to get her
Now thatcha’ got her
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
Are you ready
To get involved
Where your participation is needed
To get things resolved
We all get used to
Livin’ by ourselves
But now you’re dealin’ with a situation
That involves someone else
Well it’s about to get different
You’re gonna need a new device
Cuz she’s gonna open up your mind
And open up your life
So tell me now thatcha’ got her
The whole enchilada
Now thatcha’ got her
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
Are you gonna be
Any better
Than the man you had to be to get her
Now thatcha’ got her
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
This is the beginning
Are you ready to learn
To love somebody for a lifetime
Wake up it’s your turn (it’s all you baby)
So tell me now thatcha’ got her
The whole enchilada
Now thatcha’ got her
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
Are you gonna be
Any better
Than the man you had to be to get her
Now thatcha’ got her
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
Whatcha’ gonna do
