DATE BAIT

Diane Maxwell - 1959



Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You go around the corner, then you turn to the right
It's the little white house with the amber light
You ring the doorbell and you won't have to wait
Because I'll come a-runnin' for our first date

Date bait, that's me for you
Date bait, and I promise I'll be true
Date bait, I-I-I can't deny
Without your love I know I'll die

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You called me up one night and then you asked me for a date
And I said to be here about a quarter-to-eight
I heard your pipes come a-roarin' down the street
And I ran to the door with lightnin' on my feet

Date bait, that's me for you
Date bait, and I promise I'll be true
Date bait, I-I-I can't deny
Without your love I know I'll die

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I never flirt at all, I'm not that kind
But when I saw you, I just made up my mind
I gotta have your love and I don't dare to wait
I gotta let you know that I'm your date bait

Date bait, that's me for you
Date bait, and I promise I'll be true
Date bait, I-I-I can't deny
Without your love I know I'll die

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
