| Well, I was so alone in the city park | 
| I met my baby, she was standing in the dark | 
| Took my lovin' baby by the hand | 
| I let her know that I’m her lovin' man | 
| I let her know that I’m her lovin' man | 
| That love rubbed off on me | 
| That baby wouldn’t let me be | 
| That baby took me by the hand | 
| That love, I made her understand | 
| That love, I hollered no, no, no | 
| That baby wouldn’t let me go, oh, oh | 
| Well, I’m a hot rod freak for a fancy car | 
| Drive-in movies and caviar | 
| Mink sport coats and a lot of things | 
| Even down to a wedding ring | 
| Even down to a wedding ring | 
| That love rubbed off on me | 
| That baby wouldn’t let me be | 
| Oh, that love took me by the hand | 
| That love, I made her understand | 
| That love, I hollered go, go, go | 
| That baby wouldn’t let me go, oh yeah | 
| Well, I’m a hot rod freak for a fancy car | 
| Drive-in movies and caviar | 
| Mink sport coats and a lot of things | 
| Even down to a wedding ring | 
| Even down to a wedding ring | 
| That love rubbed off on me | 
| My baby wouldn’t let me be | 
| My baby wouldn’t let me go | 
| That love, I hollered no, no, no | 
| That baby wouldn’t let me be | 
| My baby wouldn’t set me free | 
| That woman hollered more, more, more | 
| Oh, baby, don’t you let me go | 
| Oh, baby, won’t you hold my hand? | 
| Oh, baby, her love rubbed off on me | 
| Her love rubbed off on me, ooh |
