Well, you're the cutest thing that I did ever see I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree. [cf. The Joker] Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind. Every time you kiss me you just thrill me so Don't never, never, never, never let me go. Oh lovey, lovey dovey all the time Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind. I sigh with the feeling when you are near me I'm high as a ceiling, oh baby hear me Cause I'm saying that I love you, place none above you, Give it up, pretty mama, I can't wait, because My love is tumblin' down, you know I feel the mood For you my darlin' I would break my mama's rule Ooh lovey, lovey dovey all the time Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind. I sigh with the feeling when you are near me I'm high as a ceiling, oh baby hear me Cause I'm saying that I love you, place none above you, Love me, pretty mama, I can't wait, because My love is tumblin' down, you know I feel the mood For you my darlin' I would break my mama's rule Ooh lovey, lovey dovey all the time Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind.
