Gee whiz... Look at his eyes Gee whiz... How they hypnotize He's got everything a girl could want Man oh man What a prize Uh huh Gee whiz... He's all the joy Gee whiz I could find in a boy He's awful nice It's paradise I hope I'm not his decoy
Heaven up above Knows how much I love That fellah so Angels sing Of the love I bring I hope our love will grow and grow 'Cause, Gee whiz... I love that guy Gee whiz... My, my oh my There are things we could do I could say I love you But all I could say is Gee whiz...
Well, I play for keeps, baby Said I play for keeps now And once we get together It's got to last forever
Now I won't let you love me Turn around and snub me Then shove me to the side 'Cause I've become accustomed To having your sweet loving, baby I won't be denied
And just as long as the flowers grow Raindrops fall and the four winds blow You've got to keep loving me and don't let go
'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby Said I play for keeps now And once we get together It's got to last forever now
You can have the soul of me You got complete control of me But you can love me just for a little while You leave me cryin', cryin' like a baby child
But I don't want no one night man To take me out on no one night stand You've got to be a rest of my life man
'Cause I play for keeps, baby, yes I do I play for keeps now And once we get together Oh, it's got to last forever
If I can't have the soul of you Then I don't want no part of you 'Cause if you can't love me forever and a day Then you might as well go away
'Cause, well, I play for keeps, baby, yes I do I play for keeps now Said I don't want no one night man Said I can't stand the one night stand, no, no
Baby, I like what you're doing to me I'm all messed up now Baby, I like what you're doing to me
Your mama called you no good And like most other men I see You can't be true, it ain't in you And it's no secret to me
But when you hold me in your arms You're like ten good men wrapped in one Baby, I like what you're doing to me Baby, if I like what you're doing to me
You're just like your old daddy They say he didn't treat your mama right I'm not downing you for what you do But the truth shall give the light
You're like Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde But, oh, how you keep me satisfied Baby, I like what you're doing to me Baby, I like what you're doing to me
You make me feel all right now La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You're like Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde But, oh, how you keep me satisfied Baby, I like what you're doing to me Though you're no good Baby, I like what you're doing to me
Oh, I like what you're doing You make me feel so good Baby, you make me feel so good I like, I like, I like what you're doing I like, I like, I like what you're doing
You make me feel so good You make me feel so good, baby
