[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Treat me sweet and gentle
When you say goodnight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me
I get sentimental
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me
[Bridge]
Missing you since you went away
Singing the blues away each day
Counting the nights and waiting for you
I'm in the mood to let you know
I never knew I loved you so
Please say you love me too
[Verse 2]
When I get this feeling
I'm in ecstasy
So squeeze me
But please don't tease me
[Instrumental]
[Break]
Yeah, squeeze me
Mama, don't tease me
[scat] yes
Oh, squeeze me
Mama please don't tease me
[Verse 3]
When I get this feeling
I'm in ecstasy
So squeeze me
Mama, please don't tease me
[Verse 1]
Treat me sweet and gentle
When you say goodnight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me
I get sentimental
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me
[Bridge]
Missing you since you went away

When I get this feeling
I'm in ecstasy
So squeeze me
But please don't tease me

So squeeze me
Mama, please don't tease me
