[Verse 1]
Yeah, hey baby
As anyone can plainly see
Your mother don't want me to have your love
Why don't she want you with me?
Why don't she want you with me?
[Verse 2]
Oh baby, I'm sure your mother means no harm
It's just that she's so alarmed
To think of her baby in someone else's arms
Someone else's arms
[Bridge]
Is it only me, or is the same thing true
With every guy who gives you the eye?
My life depends on what she tells you to do
[Chorus]
Oh baby baby, I'm sure that if she knew
How much I really care for you
She'd say, "My son, I'm gonna give her to you
I know your loving is true"
Ooh, baby, I'm sure that if she knew
How much I really care for you
She'd say, "My son, I'm gonna give her to you
I know your loving is true"
[Outro]
If she only knew how much I love you
I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate
Girl, to let me take you on a date
Ooh hoo, she cares so much for you
I cha cha cha cha cha cha cha cha cha
