STUFF LIKE THAT THERE

Also recorded by: Erin Martinez



I was alone on a shelf, in a world by myself
Oh, where could my Prince Charming be
But a man came along, made my life like a song
And taught me these words of ecstasy, tenderly

I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
And some muggin' and some teasin'
And some stuff like that there
I want some pettin' and some spoonin'
And some happy honeymoonin'
And some stuff like that there

I used to think that love was just a lot o' rubbish
A mess o' cabbage, a mess o' cabbage
But now my attitude is wholly lovey-dovish
And baby, you done it

I want some kissin' and some hopin'
And some missin' and some mopin'
And some stuff like that there
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
And some weepin' and some pacin'
And some stuff like that there

And when I get a certain feelin', I confess it
There's really only one expression to express it
I want some huggin' and some squeezin'
And some muggin' and some teasin'
And some stuff like that there

(Instrumental Break)

I wanna be hugged with a squeeze
Mugged and teased
Stuff like that there
I wanna be petted, spooned
Honeymooned
Stuff like that there

I used to think romance was bunk
A double mickey for the ickies
But all at once my heart was sunk
And baby, you done it

I want some kissin' and some hopin'
And some missin' and some mopin'
And some stuff like that there.
I want some leapin' and some chasin'
And some weepin' and some pacin'
And some stuff like that there.

And when I get a certain feelin', I confess it.
There's really only one expression to express it
I want some huggin', squeezin', muggin', teasin'
And some stuff, stuff like that there
Stuff like that there!
