Lyrics
Honey, come let’s go out walkin’
‘Cause I want to do some talkin’
I must tell you Babe right now
But the way to love me
I must show you how
I don’t believe in honey moonin’
Nothin’ in that all night spoonin’
Stop now dear, just where you are
And listen here, don’t go too far
REFRAIN
‘Cause there ain’t nothin’ doin’
What you’re thinkin’ about
I’ll tell you right now
So you won’t be in doubt
Don’t think ’cause I said
“I’ll love you ever day”
That you can make me do just as you say
Of course you bought me shoes
And you bought me a hat
You even bought furniture to fit the flat
But when it comes to marryin’ you
I’m forced to shout
That there ain’t nothin’ doin’
What you’re thinkin’ about
Verse 2
Once more dear, I’ve got that feelin’
For you love on me is stealin’
Come let’s go down to the dance
‘Cause to be with you I wouldn’t miss a chance
Linger near me for a minute
With me no one else is in it
I want you if you want me to
But Hon’ don’t try to get too free
