Hey now, one day ah, you will see

You'll never find a guy like me

Who'll love you right both day and night

You'll never have to worry 'cause it's all uptight

Oh, but I'm tellin' you girl and I know it's true

That I was made to love only you

But it's all right, all right girl

You can hurt me, but it's all right

Go on, yeah

But it's all right all right girl

You are payin' now, but it's all right

So goodbye, now, goodbye, girl

You're payin' now, say bye-bye

You hurt me once, you hurt me twice

Oh, but-a baby, that don't cut no ice

Hey, goodbye, baby [fade]
