Lyrics:
Well, you're the cutest thing that I did ever see
I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree. [cf. The Joker]
Lovey dovey , lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind.

Every time you kiss me you just thrill me so
Don't never, never, never, never let me go.
Oh lovey , lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind.

I sigh with the feeling when you are near me
I'm high as a ceiling, oh baby hear me
Cause I'm saying that I love you, place none above you,
Give it up, pretty mama, I can't wait, because

My love is tumblin' down, you know I feel the mood
For you my darlin' I would break my mama's rule
Ooh lovey , lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind.

..

I sigh with the feeling when you are near me
I'm high as a ceiling, oh baby hear me
Cause I'm saying that I love you, place none above you,
Love me, pretty mama, I can't wait, because  [this line has changed a bit]

My love is tumblin' down, you know I feel the mood
For you my darlin' I would break my mama's rule
Ooh lovey , lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind.
