You can buy a diamond ring 
And slip it on my hand
Put me on a big ol' plane 
And fly me to a foreign land
Show me rows of fancy clothes 
Saying, Honey you can take your pick!
Well, that would be mighty kind 
But it ain't gonna do the trick
(Chorus)
Give a little love
A squeeze and a little kiss
Give a little hug
Mmm, I want some more of this
Take a little time
Yeah, make a little fuss
That's what a woman wants
So give a little love
Get this, you can be some big hunk
Handsome, dark and tall
Talk to me in foreign tongues 
Or with a southern drawl
Or be a man from old Siam
Wear a pointed hat
I don't care how you look 
'Cause that ain't where it's at
(Repeat Chorus)
Well, there are men who'll turn your head
And knock you off of your feet
Sweet talk and big blue eyes 
Make a poor heart skip a beat
Drive you wild with a smile 
And then they'll treat you cruel
Well, I ain't gonna fall for that 
'Cause Mama didn't raise no fool
(Repeat Chorus)
