Baby, What You Want Me to Do
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
Passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my eye
I knew I wanted you forever more

and says, "My shift's almost up."
With so much riding on the choice at hand,
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man.
With so much riding on the choice at hand,
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man.
