I've been in love for a short time
I had a little trouble makin' up my mind
Somthin' got in my way, babe
I find it really hard for me to say
I know that my head was hot, girl
Hot enough to hit the spot that makes you trot
But, girl I ain't no liar
Gonna' set your little heart on fire yeah

I've had my hit and miss, girl
I'm ready now to settle right down to this
I hope that your love is true, babe
As true as the love I hold for you
There's one thing that I'd say, girl
I love you for ever and a day
Now, girl I ain't no liar
I'm gonna' set your little heart on fire yeah

(chorus)

'cause when I'm thinking of you
Thinkin' about you
My heart beats faster I'm goin' for the pastor
I got me a love and I'm gonna' make it last, girl
Girl
'cause when I think about you
Thinkin' about you
My heart beats faster I'm goin' for the pastor
I got me a love and I'm gonna' make it last, girl

Ohhhhh

I really think you're brave, babe
For cuttin' loose that bloodthirsty dave the knave
Now davey, his love was strong, babe
But, you're better off with a love that's long
You never have to be alone, girl
'cause I'll be there when you come back home
Now, girl I ain't no liar
I'm gonna' set your little heart on fire ahh, ohh

(chorus)
