Mama's Pearl

[Verse 1]
You send cold chills up and down my spine
We kiss for thrills, then you draw the line, oh baby (Oh baby)
'Cause your mama told you that love ain't right
But don't you know good lovin' is the spice of life, yeah
[Chorus]
Mama's pearl, let down those curls
Won't you give my love a whirl
Find what you been missin'
(What you been missin')

[Verse 2]
You want my lovin', yes you do, do, do (Yes you do, I know know do)
You know my lovin' is true, true, true, now baby (Oh baby)
But your conscience tells you that love is wrong (Ooh)
But listen, lovin', lovin' never hurts no one

[Chorus]
Oh, mama's pearl, let down those curls
Won't you give my love a whirl
Find what you been missin'
(What you been missin') Ooh ooh, now baby

Goody girl, let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don't keep me wishing
(Don't keep me wishing)

[Bridge]
Let all it hang out (Girl, don't be afraid)
(Oh, we've got the first step made)
(Oh, just give it, just give it to me)
('Cause I got what you need)
I got what you need
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
[Chorus]
Find out what you're missin'
Goody girl, lay down your curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Why don't you give my love a whirl!

Walk on By

Walk on!

The Love You Save

[Intro]
Stop! Na na na! You'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it (Woo!)

[Verse 1]
When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be it
But chasing boys was just a fad
You crossed your heart you'd quit

When we grew up, you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now, just like back to grade school
You're doing that same old thing
[Chorus]
Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday, you'll be all alone
You'd better stop! The love you save may be your own
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone

[Bridge]
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"
O is for "Oh, no!"
P is for "Please, please, don't go!"

[Outro]
The love you save may be your own
Some day, you may be all alone
Stop it
Save it, girl
Baby!

You'd better stop! The love you save may be your own
Please, please
Or someday, someday, baby, you'll be all alone (Headed for a danger zone)

I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed

Oh, stop! The love you save may be your own, baby
Don't 'cha know, don't 'cha know
Someday, baby, you'll be all alone (Ooh, headed for a danger zone)

Stop!
