Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Kissing like a bandit, stealing time
Underneath the sycamore tree
Cupid, by the hour, sends Valentines
To my sweet lover and me
[PreChorus]
Slowly but surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly, softly
I'm falling in love with you
[Chorus]
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers, sing
[Bridge]
Play it funky now, boys
[Verse 2]
Hugging like a monkey see, monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head
Say you wanna be a midnight rambler
[PreChorus]
Quickly, but quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly, loudly
I wanna' hear those sugar bells ring
[Chorus]
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers, get up
[Bridge]
On the beat now, uh
[Chorus]
Come on now
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears, come on
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers, uh
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
Hey, I feel like going on, I feel like going on
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
Ah, come on, come on
Erotic images float through my head
Your midnight rambler, baby, uh
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
Dig it
For you anywhere
I don't know 'cause I don't care
Wish me, love, a wishing well to kiss and tell
But all I know is
Gotta', gotta' be your midnight rambler, baby
