Lovinest Man

(album: Second Wind - 1978)

Well, mama, you can stop looking
Stop all your hooking and crooking
You just found yourself the lovinest man
I'm gonna tell you lots of secrets
I'm gonna do some light biting and squeezing
You're gonna find your feelin's getting all out of hand

She said, "Just a minute baby, can't you see I'm late?"
I said 'scuse my move, honey, I thought you was getting down"
Just as I was leaving, she took 'hold of my sleeve and
Said, "On second thought, why don't you stick around."

I'm gonna take you up so high it's gonna make you wonder
Just how you ever let yourself get so far down under
Believe me, mama, I know about how that waiting can be
Tomorrow you know you're gonna wish you'd paid some attention to me
Don't act so surprised, I've already seen that look in your eyes
Sit down, mama, spend a little time with me

She said, "Just a minute baby, can't you see I'm late?"
I said, " 'Scuse my move honey, I thought you was getting down."
Just as I was leaving she took 'hold of my sleeve and
Said, "On second thought why don't you stick around."

I'm gonna take you up so high it's gonna make you wonder
Just how you ever let yourself get so far down under
Believe me, mama, I know about how feeling lonesome can be
Tomorrow you know you're gonna wish you'd paid some attention to me
Don't act so surprised, I've already seen that look in your eyes
Sit down, mama, spend a little time with me

Yeah, sit down baby, sip a little wine with me
Pull up a chair, baby, let down your hair, baby
Sure looking fine, mama, let me pour you some wine
