Lyrics

Baby you will drive me frantic
Tell me what it’s all about
Why are you so unromantic
Even when the lights are out

Refrain
Aw! c’mon, watta ya got to lose?
Why d’ ya give your baby the blues?
Can’t ya cast in my direction
Some of that affection I’m missin’?
Listen, we’re alone
Watta ya got to lose?
Watta ya gainin’ when you refuse?
Don’t be actin’ like a stranger
Is there any danger in kissin’?
I’m no Venus but I can do
What she never could do
She had charms but she had no arms
And I’ve got two
Aw! c’mon, watta ya got to lose?
Givin’ your little devil her dues
Can’t you give a little baby
Give your little baby some love?

Refrain
Aw! c’mon, watta ya got to lose?
Why are ya always missin’ your cues?
Ev’ry time I start to mention
That I want attention you freeze up
Ease up, aw! c’mon
Watta ya got to lose?
Watta ya doin’ readin’ the news?
If ya want some information
Stop your hesitation and squeeze up
We’re both human but I’m afraid
I’m more human than you
If your kisses are not O. K. say I won’t sue
Aw! c’mon, watta ya got to lose?
You’ve got a pair of lips I could use
Gee, I’ll start to doubt your gender
If you don’t surrender to me
