Lyrics
I don't know why the girl just doesn't go away. She's just a child, a virgin when it comes to loving you. I'm not the jealous kind, but you sure are acting blind She's just a little girl, wearing her momma's shoes. C'mon give it up baby, what have you been waiting for? Don't just stand there with your hands in your pockets Come a little bit closer you'll be wanting more! I can't believe the tales my friends keep telling me She's got you wrapped so tightly, it's a wonder you can breathe Whatever happened to the one who once swept me off my feet What are you waiting for you know I can give you release.
