Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You send cold chills up and down my spine
We kiss for thrills, then you draw the line
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
'Cause your mama told you that love ain't right
But don't you know good lovin' is the spice of life, yeah?
[Verse 2]
Mama's pearl, let down those curls
Won't you give my love a whirl?
Find what you been missin' (What you been missin')
Ooh, ooh, now, baby
Goody girl, let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don't keep me wishin' (Don't keep me wishin')
[Verse 3]
(Bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum-bum)
(Bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum-bum-bum)
(Bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum-bum)
(Bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum-bum-bum)
[Verse 4]
You want my lovin', yes, you do, do, do
(Yes, you do, I know you do)
Know my lovin' is true, true, true
Now, baby (Now, baby)
But your conscience tells you love is wrong (Love is wrong, ooh)
But just a little lovin' never hurt no one
[Verse 5]
Oh, Mama's pearl, let down those curls
Won't you give my love a whirl?
Find what you been missin' (What you been missin')
Ooh, ooh, now, baby
Goody girl, let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don't keep me wishin' (Keep me wishin')
[Verse 6]
Let it all hang, girl
Girl, don't be afraid
Oh, we've got the first step made
Ooh, the rest is up to you
Here is what you do, let yourself go
[Verse 7]
Let yourself just go, now, now, now (Go, go, go)
Let yourself just go, now, now, now (Go, go, go)
Just give it to me (Me, me)
('Cause I got what you need)
Got what you need
[Verse 8]
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Find out what you're missin'
Goody girl, let down your curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Why don't you give my love a whirl?
[Verse 9]
Girl, don't be afraid
Oh, we've got the first step made
Ooh, just give it, just give it to me
'Cause I got what you need
Got what you need
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
[Verse 10]
Let yourself go
Let's just go (Go, go, go)
Let yourself just go (Go, go, go)
Just give it to me (Me, me, me)
'Cause I got what you need (Go)
Got what you need
[Verse 11]
Girl, don't be afraid
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Daddy's girl, we've got it made
Find out what you been missin', sugar
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Goody, goody, Daddy's girl, ooh
Mama's pearl, don't be afraid
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Daddy's girl, we've got it made
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Girl, don't be afraid
We've got the first step made
