With my heavy, heavy load
Try to keep it secret
But now everybody knows
Darling won't you stay
Please don't stand in love's way
Darling won't you stay
I just can't stand another day
'Cause you're a pretty young lady
Don't come a' tease
You're a pretty young lady
You're a pretty young lady, lord
'Cause you're a pretty young lady, whoa

If you're getting hot
You gotta enter the spot
'Cause this one's called jack pot!
Boy!

Say do you feel alright
Did the Beat come all over you tonight?
Say did we make it right
Did the Beat come all over you tonight?

Say what a joy
