Baby, let me be good to you
I'll do anything you want me to
Your love has brought me around
Every time I was feeling down
But I'm so glad you give me everything I got

Baby, let me be good to you
Now sit in your easy chair
What you want—I'll bring it there
Even good can be better
Here's my love on a silver platter
Take it all

Baby, let me be good to you
Here it is—take it all
And don't be shy
You need your alibi
I want to do it

Baby, let me be good to you
Here it is, girl
I just want you to just take me all
Don't want you to be shy, Carla
You don't need no alibi
Baby, let me be good to you
Baby, let me…I want to be good to you

Tramp!
What you call me?
Tramp.
You didn't!
You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats.
Well I tell you one dog-gone thing. It makes me feel good to know one thing. I know I'm a lover.
Matter of opinion.
That's all right, Mama was. Papa too. And I'm the only child. Lovin' is all I know to do.
You know what, Otis?
What?
You're country.
That's all right.
You straight from the Georgia woods.
That's good.
You know what? You wear overalls, and big old brogan shoes, and you need a haircut, Tramp.
Haircut? Woman, you foolin'...ooh...I'm a lover. Mama was. Grandmama, Papa too. Boogaloo. All that stuff. And I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun. Tramp!
You know what, Otis? I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.
What?
That's right. You haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket. You probably haven't even got twenty-five cents.
I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, three T-Birds, Mustang, ooooooohhh...I'm a lover. Mama was. Papa too. I tell you one thing.


Well tell me.
I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun.
You're a tramp, Otis.
No I'm not.
I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.
What's wrong with that?
Look here. You ain't got no money.
I got everything.
You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want.
I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits, ...anything you want, Woman.
Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, Baby.
Oh, you foolin'.
You're still a tramp.
That's all right.
You a tramp, Otis. You just a tramp.
That's all right.
You we

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart
It makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
Tell it like it is
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby go on and live

I'm just tellin' you like it is
I'm nothing to play with
Go and find yourself a baby boy
I'm just tellin' you like it is
'Cause I'm too good to you for that

When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
And if I know that she's worried
I know I'd feel the same misery (we got problems)

We've been through so much together
We stand as one, and that's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby, people
Something is wrong with me, now dig this

Just what she means to me,
You just, you just can't understand
People can say that my woman, she's no good
But she's my woman and I know I'm her only man

And if he's got a problem
Oh, I gotta, I gotta help him solve them
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me

I gotta tell it to ya just one more time
When something is wrong with my baby, something is wrong with my baby
When something is wrong with my baby, something is wrong with me

I said you're the cutest thing that I've ever seen
I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Said lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

I tell you that I love you and you ought to know
I love the way your father slammed the back door
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Said lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

I get a high when you kiss me and I'm on the ceiling
My knees get weak, my heart beats, my head starts dreaming
I love you pretty baby, place no one above
Give it up, I can't wait because

You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
Love those peaches, got to have that tree

Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Said lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

I get a high when you kiss me and I'm on the ceiling
My knees get weak, my head starts dreaming
Give it up, I just can't wait

You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches, got to shake that tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Said lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

And I'm walking and I'm talking but I feel alright
Said lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

Let's see how happy we can be

Many times, we had our ups and downs
I'm sorry and I'm sorry too
I'll never

So baby, before we
Let's
try not to hurt each other again

Love me, baby
Recount the weeks
Let's make promises that we can keep
Our New Year's resolution

I know we can do it, Carla
Love me

One can have a dream, baby
Two can make that dream so real
One can talk about bein' in love
Two can say how it really feels
One can wish upon a star
Two can make that wish come true, yeah
One can stand alone in the dark
Two can make the light shine through

It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you, just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, just takes two

One can have a broken heart, livin' in misery
Two can really ease the pain like a perfect remedy
One can be alone in a car, on a night like these all alone
Two can make just any place seem just like bein' at home

One can go out to a movie, lookin' for a special treat
Two can make that single movie somethin' really kinda sweet
One can take a walk in the moonlight, thinkin' that it's really nice
But two walkin' hand-in-hand is like addin' just a pinch of spice

It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
Me and you, just takes two
It takes two, baby
It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, just takes two

Oh, it's the last train, to Jacksonville,
And I'm gonna get on it baby, you know I will
Will you try, just come on and try
To forget all the pain I brought you
Come on and cry, go ahead and just cry
I know I'm the one who taught you

To be lonely baby, I'm lonely and blue
I'm lonely baby, and I'm lonely for you
Are you lonely for me baby, yes I am
Are you lonely for me baby

It's your last buck in Jacksonville
Are you my sweet baby, are you still?
I'll tell my friend, this is the end
And you never again deserve me

I can hear them laugh, I can hear them laugh
You say I'd was gonna hurt you
But he's lyin' baby, I'm sorry baby
I'm sorry and blue


He, I'm lonely baby
And I'm lonely for you

Are you lonely for me baby
Yes I am
Are you lonely for me baby
I'm comin' home
Oh, yes I am

Oh, it's a long ride to Jacksonville
No one would ever know, the way I feel
Will you be there, will you be there
When I get on the train
You see you gotta be there, you gotta be there
I just got to see you again girl

Because I'm lonely baby
I'm lonely and blue
I'm lonely baby
And I'm lonely for you

Are you lonely for me baby
Yes I am
Are you lonely for me baby
Are you lonely for me baby
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Are you lonely for me baby

Yes I am
Yes I am

If you ever, change your mind
About leaving, leavin' me behind
Darling, bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'
Just bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

I'll give you jewellery, and money too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'd do for you
Oh, if you bring it to me
Bring my sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to you, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

I know I laughed, when you left
But now I know, I only hurt myself
But girl, you better, bring it to me

You know I'll always, be your slave
Till I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey, bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'

One more thing
I tried, to treat you right
But you stayed out, stayed out late at night
But I forgive you, bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me, yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) REPEAT TO FADE

Ooh, Carla—I love you, baby
Ooh, Carla—I love you, little girl
Ooh, Otis—keep saying you love me

You're so sweet to me—you're my everything
You're my cake and ice cream—honey, you remain the same
Dimples in your jaw—so good, honey
But one more thing I got to tell you is that
As always, I love you, Carla
Ooh, Otis—keep saying you love me
Carla, baby, I really love you

I give you everything your heart desires
Just your touch set my soul on fire
Ain't it plain—you're my man
Since you kissed me, baby, I'm not the same

Ooh, baby—I really love you, Carla
Ooh, Otis—keep saying you love me
Carla, honey, I love you
I'll always love you—I love you, baby
You are my everything—my cake and ice cream
You're so sweet, honey—sweeter than anything
Ain't it plain that you're my man
Since you kissed me, baby, I'm not the same
Ooh, baby—I really love you
