Lyrics
Chorus
Oh, I want her to be nice and chummy with me
But she don’t wanna! she don’t wanna
I just want her to pet like the others I’ve met
But she don’t wanna! she don’t wanna
Oh, I plead and beg for one little kiss
But that hard-boiled egg, just sits there like this
We could have so much fun, but it takes more than one
And she don’t wanna! she don’t wanna
Chorus
Oh, if she wanted to, Gee, what we couldn’t do
But she don’t wanna! she don’t wanna
I’ve been gentle and mild, but she’s driving me wild
‘Cause she don’t wanna! she don’t wanna
All I want are hugs, now ain’t that a shame?
Say, if I go “bugs” you’ll know who’s to blame
Gee, she looks like she would, And I certainly could
But she don’t wanna! she don’t wanna
