Stop Messin' Around

Aerosmith · Honkin On Bobo [2004]

Baby, please stop messin' 'round

You'll be messin' around all the time

Baby, please stop messin' around

You'll be messin' around all the time

If you don't stop messin' 'round

You'll be somebody's friend

Instead of mine, yes sir

You're rockin' the temprature

My baby's cherry red

You're rockin' so hard

I fall right out of bed

I said,

Baby, please stop messin' 'round

You'll be messin' around all the time

If you don't stop messin' 'round

You'll be somebody's friend

Instead of mine

You're rockin' the temprature

My baby's cherry red

You're rockin' so hard

I fall right out of bed

I said,

Baby, please stop messin' 'round

You'll be messin' around all the time

If you don't stop messin' 'round

You'll be somebody's friend

Instead of mine
