Verse 2: You oughta be a-here, a-lettin' me know, You oughta be a-here, to tell me so. You oughta be here, ooh its true, That I'm the only one for you. And baby tell me, once again; (n.) A-huh-huh, am I the man? (Yes you're the man). Bridge 1: Yeah, girls in this big city, all of these girls, its a pity, That my girl she's a thousand miles away, yeah, yeah. Baby, you'd better hurry, 'cos I'm beginning to worry. 'Cos all of these beautiful girls are drivin' me wild. But, oh... Verse 3: I'm gonna wait until you're in my arms, I'm gonna wait until I have your charms. I'm gonna wait until you come to me, And we'll make a-love, a-like a ooh-wee! And baby tell me, once again; (n.) A-huh-huh, am I the man? (Yes you're the man). Bridge 2: Yeah, girls in this big city, all of these girls, its a pity, That my girl she's a thousand miles away, yeah, yeah. Baby, you'd better hurry, 'cos I'm beginning to worry.
