Love you, daddy, and I know you know
You got a good thing going, papa, don't let go
'Cause there are ninety-seven men in this here town
Would give a half a grand in silver just to follow me down
So appreciate a dedicated baby
'Cause boy, you are a lucky man

I'll take you down by the river where the catfish play
Bed around, baby, gonna kick all day
No need to wander, no need to roam
You got a full meal cooking, honey, here at home
So appreciate a dedicated baby,
'Cause boy, you are a lucky man

Say I'm confused, say I'm perplexed
One fellow told me I was oversexed
Don't you believe it, 'cause it just ain't true
You know it's just 'cause I got a little crush on you

So before you turn your back on me
To take a look at all the other fishes in the sea
Remember a plenty good woman is hard to find
And I'm the hoochie coochie lovey doving kind
So appreciate a dedicated baby
'Cause boy, you are a lucky man

Don't call me honey when your mother's around
Boy, you know you're gonna drive her wild
Don't call me honey when your mother's around
Boy, you never again may smile

Listen to me, hear my song
She's afraid I'm gonna lead her little boy wrong
Don't call me honey when your mother's around
Boy, you know you're gonna drive her wild

Don't call me honey when your mother's around
Boy, you know you're gonna weep and wail
Don't call me honey when your mother's around
Boy, you're gonna land us both in jail

I'll never know why she don't dig me
She says I'm leading a minor to delinquency
Don't call me honey when your mother's around
Boy, you know you're gonna drive her wild

Now baby stop winking 'cross the supper table
I'm afraid your papa's gonna see
Now baby stop winking 'cross the supper table
I already know you got eyes for me

You know put them up every time we touch
They just don't dig that I should love you so much
Don't call me honey when your mother's around
Boy, you know you're gonna drive her wild

Remember ninety-seven men in this here town
Would give a half a grand in silver just to follow me down
So appreciate a dedicated baby,
'Cause boy, you are a lucky man

Boy, you are a lucky man
