Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair I threw out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year I'm gonna get fired, if I don't get some sleep My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in to deep But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it I try so hard, I can't rise above it Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin' But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it My Mama and Daddy tried to teach me courtesy But it never sank in 'til that girl got a hold of me Now I'm holding umbrellas and openin' up doors I'm taking out the trash and I'm sweepin' my floors Crossin' my fingers, and countin' every kiss Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it I try so hard, I can't rise above it Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin' But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it Got to wash my truck and dress up To pick her up to watch TV And she sits down on the sofa She'll move a little closer She can't get enough of me But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it I try so hard, I can't rise above it Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin' But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it
