Watchin' girls go by, me oh my Oh, what a lovely way to spend the afternoon Watchin' girls go by that's how I spend my time Picking out the ones I'd like to make love to When I was just a boy, I put away my toys 'Cause I had been affected by the opposite sex and I had found My mouth began to water, those sweet young things were better A new past time that turned my head around Watchin' girls go by, me oh my Oh, what a lovely way to spend the afternoon Watchin' girls go by that's how I spend my time Picking out the ones I'd like to make love to A little older, a little tame but it's still the same old game 'Cause I am still attracted to those sexy lasses all around But I've found what I've been needin' and I don't just stand there dreamin' I'm just comparing them to what I found Watchin' girls go by, me oh my Oh, what a lovely way to spend the afternoon Watchin' girls go by that's how I spend my time But you're the only one I wanna make love to Watchin' girls go by, me oh my Oh, what a lovely way to spend the afternoon Watchin' girls go by that's how I spend my time But you're the only one I wanna make love to Yes, you're the only girl I wanna make love to
