Text
With every evening, when all my dish work is through, I call my baby, and ask her "What shall we do?" "How 'bout some movies?" And she goes "See me today." And then she asks me, "Why don't I come to her flat? And have some supper, and let the evening pass by, and bring your records, the sides are groovy and fine." I say, "Yeh, yeh." That's what I say, I say, "Yeh, yeh."	a
My baby loves me, she gets me feelin’ so fine, and when she loves me, she makes me know that she's mine. And when she kisses, I'll feel the fire get hot. She never misses, she gives it all that she's got. And when she asks me, if everything is OK, I got my answer, the only thing I can say, I say, "Yeh, yeh." That's what I say, I say, "Yeh, yeh."	b
We’ll play a melody and turn the lights down low so that none can see. We gotta do that, we gotta do that. (repeat) And there'll be no one else alive in all the world 'cept you and me, yeh, yeh, yeh . . . .	c
Yeh pretty baby, I never knew such a thrill, just thought I'd tell you, because I'm trembling still, Oh pretty baby, I want you all for my own, I think I'm ready, to leave those others alone. No need to ask me, if everythin' is OK, I got my answer, the only thing I can say, I say, "Yeh, yeh." That's what I say, I say, "Yeh, yeh." That's what I say . . . .	d
