I got a little change in my pocket going jingle lingle ling
Want to call you on the telephone baby give you a ring
But each time we talk I get the same old thing
Always no huggie no kissie until Iget a wedding ring
My honey my baby don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand no lies and keep your hands to yourself
baby baby baby why you want to treat me this way
You know I'm still your lover boy I still feel the same way
That's when she told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow
And she said no huggie no kissie until I get a wedding vow
My honey my baby don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lies and keep your hands to yourself
You see I wanted her real bad and I was about to give in
That's when she started talkin' true love started talkin' about sin
I said honey I'll live with you for the rest of my life
She said no huggie no kissie until you make me your wife
My honey my baby don't put my love on no shelf
She don't hand me no lies and keep your hands to yourself.
