Girl, I'm so proud of ya
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
(Thought I had a lover) Thought I had a lover
But I was kiddin' myself, baby
(By the time I learned about it) By the time I learned the truth about it
She was sleepin' with someone else, oh, but not you, baby
Choosey lover
Girl, I'm so proud of ya
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
'Cause you've given me (Given me security)
Given me security, baby, and you're provin' what you said
(I never worry about you) Never worry about you, baby
Jumpin' in and out of bed, no, not my baby
Choosey lover (You're so choosey!)
Girl, I'm so proud of ya
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
Choosey lover (You're so choosey!)
Girl, I'm so proud of ya
I'm so glad you chose me, baby
And you make me so happy
Choosey lover (Oh, you're so choosey!)
Girl, I'm so proud of ya
I'm so glad you chose me, baby
I'll make you so happy
Choosey lover (Oh, choosey!)
Girl, I'm so proud of ya
I'm so glad you chose me
