Well, come on pretty baby won't you walk with me Come
on pretty baby won't you talk with me Come on pretty
baby give me one more chance Try and save our romance
Slow down Baby, now you're moving way too fast You
got to give me little loving give me little loving
Ow, if you want our love to last Well I used to walk
you home baby after school Carry your books home,
too But now you got a boyfriend down the street Baby
what're you trying to do a do You better slow down
Baby, now you're moving way too fast You got to give
me little loving give me little loving Brrr,
if you want our love to last Well you know that I love
you, tell the world I do Come on pretty baby,
why can't you be true I need you badly,
baby, oh so bad The best little woman I ever had Slow
down Baby, now you're moving way too fast You got to
give me little loving give me little loving Ow,
if you want our love to last
