Lyrics

Go away, little boy
Listen to me now, go away, little boy
You see, I'm not supposed to really be alone with you
Yeah, daddy, I know, I know, I know, mm, that your lips are oh so sweet
But our lips just ain't never meet
I belong to a real man
Oh, and I'm gonna be through
Yeah, go away, little boy
Spit, bow, make tracks
Do you hear me, little boy?
You're just hurting me more
Each and every minute that you delay
Now, when you're near me, when you're near me, when you're near me like this
You're much, much too hard to resist
So go away, little boy
Before I ask you to stay
Oh, one more time
Go away
Please run on now, little boy
Find yourself another set of apron strings, little boy
You're just hurting me more
Each and every minute that you delay
Boy, when you're near me, oh, daddy, when you're up tighten like this
You see, you're getting kinda hard to resist
So go away, little boy
Before I beg you
"Oh, please stay
Don't go away"
