[Verse 1]
Babe, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to go home with me
I've got some good ol' lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You got to come back for more
Boys they comin' down by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle
Now, you surrender
[Verse 2]
Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you've got you another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm wanna prove every word I say
I advertise my love for free
So, wanna place your hand with me
Boys come along a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle
Now, you surrender
[Verse 3]
Baby, here I am
I'm a man on the scene
I can give you what you need but
You got to come home with me, now
I have got some good ol' lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You got to come back for more
Boys they comin' down by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Pretty little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle
Now, you surrender
[Outro]
Give it to me, I got to have it
Give it to me (Hard to handle, hard to handle)
Good ol' lovin', I got it have it
Give it to me, give it to me (Hard to handle, hard to handle)
Give it to me, I got to have it
Give it to me, I said (Hard to handle, hard to handle)
Give it to me, I got to have it
Give it to me (Hard to handle, hard to handle)
