Somethin' Bout You Baby I Like
Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones
I'd like to get to know you but all I do is smile at you
'Cause when it comes to talking my tongue gets uptight
This sidewalk love affair has got me high as a kite
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Well, I'm a slow walker but girl I'd race a mile for you
To get there in time for a peek-a-boo rendezvous
Now maybe it's the way you wear you're blue jeans so tight
I can't put my finger on what you're doing right
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Now when I go home to sleep I turn out the light
You come strolling through my dreams 'most every night
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
I'm standing on a corner hiding by the telephone
I'd like to check you over, I know you like a fine tooth comb
Now I don't need astrology to tell me what's right
The sign I'm looking at is such a beautiful sight
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
I said, yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
I said, yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
I said, yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
I said, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Gotta say it again
I said, yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
I said, yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
