Please be my boyfriend
I've been waiting for a long long time
All my lonely life to call you mine
Oh little boy, say yes
I tell you (yes yes), why won't you be my boyfriend?
Please give my heart one little chance
& we can have a real romance
Oh little boy, say yes
I'll be faithful & true; please let me prove it to you
I love you madly & I'll feel this way until eternity
Please be my boyfriend
Please be my lovin' loverboy
& you can fill my heart with joy
Oh little boy, say yes
(instrumental)
I'll be faithful & true; please let me prove it to you
I love you madly & I'll feel this way until eternity
Please be my boyfriend
(repeat & fade):
Ooo boyfriend
Can't stay out late, can't have no fun, 21 (21, la la la la oh)
Folks say you have to be 21, 21 (21, la la la la oh)
I'll have a dance, you just wait & see
Oh I'll be 21 & fancy free
Wo wo wo wo wo wo hey, 21, 21
Can't go steady, can't even have a date, 21 (21, la la la la oh)
How in the world will I ever find a mate? 21 (21, la la la la oh)
I'll have a dance, I'll be 21, yeah
They're out fun, here I am
Wo wo wo wo wo wo hey, 21, 21
When my 21st birthday finally comes, oh yeah
I'm gonna sound the bugles, beat the drums
I'm gonna stay out all night; I won't even go to bed
I'm gonna find me a paintbrush, hah, & paint the whole town red,
yeah
I'll get married & raise a family, 21 (21, la la la la oh)
All my kids are gonna look like me, 21 (21, la la la la oh)
They'll grow up & get carefree
I'll tell them like they told me: uh uh!
(repeat & fade):
No no no no no no hey, 21, 21
You say you think I'm beautiful
You say you live for my touch
Tell me the things I want to hear
Don't you know you can never say too much
CHORUS:
You gotta keep tellin' me things I want to hear
You gotta say pretty words every time you're near
You gotta show me that you care
So I'll know you'll be there right through the years
Please tell me, please tell me things I want to hear
Pretty words, pretty words, pretty words
Tell me the words that touch my heart
Promise you want me to stay
Tell me that we will never part
Say I'm the one you'll be loving more each day
(chorus)
Words I wanna hear (pretty words)
...& fade
You say hop & I hop
You say stop & I stop
You say jump & I jump
Anything you say, I'm like a hunk of clay
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh
With one wave of your hand (putty putty putty putty)
I'm your slave to command (putty putty putty putty)
& I gladly obey (putty putty putty putty)
You say I'm like a hunk of clay
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh
(x2):
You come straight a girl I've known before
You cut me down to the size of a rubber ball
You can use me, lose me, but never refuse me
Without your love I ain't nothin' at all, wo oh
They say I'm a fool (putty putty putty putty)
'Cause you treat me so cruel (putty putty putty putty)
But I'll go on this way (putty putty putty putty)
Without you, babe, I'm like a hunk of clay
(repeat & fade):
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh
Yes love, love, love, love, love is a swingin' thing
It's a swingin' thing
Makes you laugh, makes you cry
Makes you live, makes you die
'Cause love is such a swingin' thing
(over backing of "bop she bop bop bop"):
Take a look in the sky; I see 2 little birdies flyin' by
Don't wonder why, they have all the joys love can bring
'Cause love is a swingin' thing
Say you need my lips (come on, come on) come on
Say you want my heart (come on, come on) come on
Say you need my love (come on, come on, come on) come on
I may be young today, but tomorrow I will be grown
(over backing of "bop she bop bop bop"):
Some people say love, love ain't this, that, & nothin' I don't
lie
There is no other
I don't need a wedding gown, I don't need a diamong ring
'Cause I dig love; it's such a swingin' thing; you tell 'em, girls
(instrumental)
(over backing of "bop she bop bop bop"):
Some people say love, love takes all of your new kissing in the head
Well, I think it's cute
No more, & I'll take a little chance
I'm gonna have a fling
'Cause I dig love; it's such a swingin' thing
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo) (x2)
Some other guy may give me diamonds & pearls
The kind of things that mean so much to some girls
But in the long run, baby, it's love that really counts
Believe me, it's love that really counts
& baby, after loving you
I'm here to say that no one else will do
Who cares if you don't show me Paris or Rome?
As long as you are here, I'm happy at home
'Cause in the long run, baby, it's love that really counts
Believe me, it's love that really counts
When other loves have come & gone
This love of ours will soon go on & on
So take me in your arms, & darling
Kiss me like only you know how to do
It's love that really counts, love that really counts
I'm tellin' you
(repeat & fade):
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My my my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wo Mr. Bluebird's on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actual
Everything's gonna be satisfactual
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feelin', wonderful day
