[Intro]
It's courtin' time
[Verse 1]
I've been holding back a good deal longer than I shoulda oughta
I bet you got the notion that I couldn't make up my mind
But now I'm ready to tell your mama
That I got to gets with her daughter
Put on your good dress, baby
It's courtin' time
[Verse 2]
Every day I wait is just another day your baby's lonely
No matter what I'm talking about it always comes back to you (You)
I lost more friends this week because the only
The only one I want deserves the best, the very best that I can do
Put on your shopping shoes, honey

Yeah
Keep it right there
[Verse 3]
All the friends I thought I had found out they were not at all
With no regrets, the joy I get from knowin' that you're mine
