I wrote you long love letters
Mama, I sent 'em on day by day
I need you now even more than I did before
But as I'm lookin' here's your daddy
Comin' with a big ol' shotgun too
My lovin' situation lookin' mighty poor
So if you're really wonderin'
What I'm doin' in your backyard
I told you baby, I'd beat it home so soon
But if you're really worried
About what I'm doin' in your backyard
Come out later, I'll show you by the light of the moon.
I had some dreams and fortunes ready
Mama, I got carried away
And lookin' back even more than I did before
But as I'm keepin' creepin' hidin' and sleepin'
There's your daddy with the shotgun too
My lovin' situation ain't nothin' but poor
So if you're really worried
'Bout what I'm doin' in your backyard
I told you baby, I was beatin' it home so soon
But if you're really worried
About what I'm doin' in your backyard
C'mon out later, I'll show you by the light of the moon
(THE SONG CHANGES KEY AT THIS POINT)
N.C.
Baby thinkin' bout it
Really might be wonderin' why I'm standin' here cryin'
Honey lookin' in your backyard
You worry 'bout nothin', you got nothin' on your mind but me
But as I'm layin' on my back about
Thinkin' bout summertime, gettin' back all the way
Everything I see, honey remindin' me
C'mon get your lovin' man
C'mon and get him while he's hot, get him on the run
Baby hear you're lookin' but really too blind to see, ho hey
Whatcha gonna think about a wham-bam thank-you ma'am
Where you goin' on the wildwood trail
Everything I see, honey remindin' me
Baby might be thinkin' bout a-really livin' back
Layin' back, standin' in your backyard
I told you baby, I was beatin' it home so soon
If you're really wonderin'
What I'm doin' in your backyard
C'mon out later babe, show you by the light of the moon
