My baby she may not a-look
Like one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club
But she got somethin' much greater than gold
Crazy bout that girl 'cause she got so much soul

I said she got the kind of lovin', kissin' and a-huggin'
Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow and I know
That she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me
'Cause she knocks me off my feet
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do

My baby when she walks by
All the fellows go mmmm, and I know why
It's simply 'cause that girl she looks so fine
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
[repeat chorus]

Everybody in the neighborhood
Will testify that my girl she looks so good
She's so fine she'd give eyesight to the blind
And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind
[repeat chorus]

Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel, yeah, it's all right
Mercy, mercy, mercy
