When I set my eyes on you
I'm gonna keep you outta town at night
When I set my eyes on you
You're not gonna be outta of my sight
And now you know
Everywhere on earth you go
You’re gonna have me as your man
When I get my hands on you
I'm gonna make you carry me
When I get my hands on you
I'm gonna make you marry me
And now you know
Everywhere on earth you go
You’re gonna have me as your man
When I come home to you
I'm gonna take you down to the riverside
When I come home to you
Hold you in my arms all night
And now you know
Everywhere on earth you go
You’re gonna have me as your man
And now you know
Everywhere on earth you go
You’re gonna have me as your man
