[Verse 1]
It’s not the way that you walk that gets me off
It's the way that you think
It's the way that you talk
And when I see something I like you know that I gotta pounce
All the things that you say, say, say
I can trust every ounce
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't tell this girl what's on my mind
And it seems it's getting closer all the time (ooh, girl)
I said, I can't tell this girl what's on my mind (oh no, baby)
And it seems it's getting closer all the time
[Chorus]
'Cause I went to a party and I left my pretty baby with Ralphie
Baby and now I’m alone
Was doing much better when you weren’t here
And now I’m feeling something and I know she’s doing better without me, maybe
I guess I’ll go home whether that’s with or without you
[Verse 2]
Ooh, and I know that it's too hard
For you to play it back from the start
And no, I don't know your name
Or the frame of your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't tell this girl what's on my mind (ooh, baby)
And it seems it's getting closer all the time (ooh, girl)
I said, I can't tell this girl what's on my mind (oh no, baby)
'Cause it seems it's getting closer all the time
[Chorus]
'Cause I went to a party and I left my pretty baby with Ralphie
Baby and now I’m alone
Was doing much better when you weren’t here
And now I’m feeling something and I know she’s doing better without me, maybe
I guess I’ll go home whether that’s with or without you
Post Animal released Ralphie on Tue Feb 20 2018.
