Jimmy called me on the phone but I was gone, not at home
'Cause I was out parked all alone with darlin' Norman
Bill invited me to a show but I said no, cannot go
There's a dress that I've got to sew and wear for Norman
Norman holds me close to him, Norman kisses me and then
Norman knows my heart belongs to him and him and only him, oh

Joey asked me for a date, he wanted to take me out to skate
But I told Joey he would have to make arrangements with Norman
Norman is my only love, Norman's all I'm thinking of
Norman gives me all his lovin' kissin' huggin' lovey-dovin'
