Uhuh
(Come on)
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be

Babe, you will have to earn my love
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be
Because I just wanne see you're good enough
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be

I'm tellin' you darling
Don't want any nonsense
I think that's appalling
Man, I tell you I've been there before
You mustn't be shy boy
That ain't too fulfilling
Just needin' a big joy
I have started looking around

You will have to complete my live
I know that's a grind
It whould be so kind

Babe, you will have to earn my love
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be
Because I just wanne see you're good enough
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be

You gotta seduce me
I'm not very prudish
I'm willing to give you
Everything I know your heart desires
You're giving French kisses
Like you've done your homework
And I'm gettin' blisses
Sugar, I've been craving for you

You will have to excite my heart
That'II be a start
Gotta fit the part
Oh baby
You will have to complete my mind
I know that's a grind
It should be so kind

Babe, you will have to earn my love
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be
Because I just wanne see you're good enough
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be

You will have to complete my live
I know that's a grind
It whould be so kind

Babe, you will have to earn my love
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be
Because I just wanne see you're good enough
Oh yeah, that's how it's got to be
