But she won’t give me a taste of it
Saving her bed maidenhead
That’s what I call a waste of it
Crosses her arms to hide all her charms
Like she’s living in a nunnery
Gives me a wink drive me to drink
I know she’s only making fun of me
She’s All Buttoned Up
All Buttoned Up, no place to go
She don’t mind a squeeze if I say please
I might even manage a kiss of her
But I’ll get a slap if I sit her on my lap
I call that so remiss of her
She’s All Buttoned Up
All Buttoned Up, no place to go
She hates the stuff I bring her
She wants diamonds on her finger
She wouldn’t let me in
Frothing at the mouth and barking
On all fours like Rin Tin Tin
My girl Kate she wants me to wait
But I got urges, don’t I?
I got desires raging fires
But I’ll do the right thing, won’t I?
She’s All Buttoned Up
All Buttoned Up, no place to go
She changes with the weather
She keeps her knees together
But she dresses so racy
Drawing Man into temptation
With everything silky, satiny, lacy
I got a girl best girl in the world
But she won’t give me a taste of it
Saving her bed maidenhead
That’s what I call a waste of it
She’s All Buttoned Up
All Buttoned Up, no place to go
She’s All Buttoned Up
All Buttoned Up, no place to go
I got a girl best girl in the world But she won’t give me a taste of it Saving her bed maidenhead That’s what I call a waste of it Crosses her arms to hide all her charms Like she’s living in a nunnery Gives me a wink drive me to drink I know she’s only making fun of me She’s All Buttoned Up All Buttoned Up, no place to go She don’t mind a squeeze if I say please I might even manage a kiss of her But I’ll get a slap if I sit her on my lap I call that so remiss of her She’s All Buttoned Up All Buttoned Up, no place to go She hates the stuff I bring her She wants diamonds on her finger She wouldn’t let me in Frothing at the mouth and barking On all fours like Rin Tin Tin My girl Kate she wants me to wait But I got urges, don’t I? I got desires raging fires But I’ll do the right thing, won’t I? She’s All Buttoned Up All Buttoned Up, no place to go She changes with the weather She keeps her knees together But she dresses so racy Drawing Man into temptation With everything silky, satiny, lacy I got a girl best girl in the world But she won’t give me a taste of it Saving her bed maidenhead That’s what I call a waste of it She’s All Buttoned Up All Buttoned Up, no place to go She’s All Buttoned Up All Buttoned Up, no place to go Explain Request ×
