is another little darlin' song.
I hope that gleam that you have in your eyes
Is reflection from the buttons on your blouse
If it's not and we're in trouble I can tell you why
I'm old enough to want to and fool enought to try.
They don't make women like you anymore
And since there's not enough to go around
If you think what I think you're a thinking this is what I think
I'd be a crazy fool to turn you down.
I hope that smile that you have on your lips
Is just the smile that you wear all the time
If it's something special then start making up your line
I'm old enough to want to and fool enough to try.
I'm old enough to want to and fool enough to try...
