It's courtin' time
I've been holdin' back a good deal longer than I shouldaoughta
I bet U got the notion that I couldn't make up my mind
But now I'm ready 2 tell your mama that I gots 2 get with her daughta
Put on your good dress, baby - it's courtin' time!
Every day I wait is just another day your baby's lonely
No matter what I'm talkin' about it always comes back 2 U (U)
I lost more friends this week because the only
The only one I want deserves the best, the very best that I can do
Put on your shoppin' shoes, honey - it's courtin' time!
Yes it is
Yeah
Keep it right there
All the friends I thought I had found out they were not at all
With no regrets, the joy I get from knowin' that U're mine
A thousand times the victor (victor) I am (yes!)
Baby, baby, it's courtin', courtin', courtin', courtin' time!

What it's like when a boy truly loves a girl
(It's courtin' time!)
Well
When I do that (do that), when I do that (do that), when I do that
