lyrics

Catch-18

Ooh I'd take you
over
my shoulder
baby
I want to
be sober
But the sight of you makes me drunk
On lo-o-ove, On lo-o-o-o-ove, laaa-la-la-la-la-love, on looooove
Under you love's the sweetest place to be

I promise
to be true
You're truly
a sweet catch
I hope that
you are not
a Catch-18
Oh a Catch-18, a Catch-18, a Catch-18- as in something you will not end up being
Baby I'm hopin' that you're not a Catch-18

Girl you lookin' so fine, wish that you would look my way
You got a great smile and unforgettable eyes
Mouth wide open better shut it quick and bartender please can I get another napkin
I know it isn't cool, time to wipe the drool from my chin

I'd make you
my Queen
You are one
already
We could be
royalty
together
Together, to-oo-oo-oooo-gether, together baby, together in a suburban castle
That is to say we could scrounge to pay for a house together

Compromise
Is inevit-
able
in a re-
lationship
my darling
be my darling baby
Be my darling, oh darling be mine, my darling please see eye to ey-eye
You and me together equals a lovely life

Girl you lookin' so nice, even when you don't try
You naturally got it darlin', beauty's what you define
Eyes wide open I'd better get a handle
My heart's all aflutter flippin' all around in your hands
Girl you ain't a burden but I'll surely be a hurtin' if you let go
Don't close that curtain I wanna keep seeing you show meeeeeeeeee
Your lo-o-ove, la-lala-la-la-love, your lalala-la-la-love, oh baby your looooooove
Baby I wanna keep seeing the show, why don't you show me your love...
