I've been in love for a short time. I had a little trouble makin' up my mind. Somthin' got in my way, babe. I find it really hard for me to say. I know that my head was hot, girl. Hot enough to hit the spot that makes you trot. But, girl I ain't no liar. Gonna' set your little heart on fire. Yeah.
I've had my hit and miss, girl. I'm ready now to settle right down to this. I hope that your love is true, babe. As true as the love I hold for you. There's one thing that I'd say, girl. I love you for ever and a day. Now, girl I ain't no liar. I'm gonna' set your little heart on fire. Yeah.
(CHORUS) 'Cause when I'm thinking of you. Thinkin' about you. My heart beats faster I'm goin' for the pastor. I got me a love and I'm gonna' make it last, girl. Girl. 'Cause when I think about you. Thinkin' about you. My heart beats faster I'm goin' for the pastor. I got me a love and I'm gonna' make it last, girl.
Ohhhhh ...
I really think you're brave, babe. For cuttin' loose that bloodthirsty Dave the knave. Now Davey, his love was strong, babe. But, you're better off with a love that's long. You never have to be alone, girl. 'Cause I'll be there when you come back home. Now, girl I ain't no liar. I'm gonna' set your little heart on fire. Ahh, ohh ...
