L’il Darlin’
Don't need no palace paved with gold
Don't need more cash than banks could hold

Whenever I get the feeling for something there ain't too much of
My sweet little darlin' gives me his love

Don't catch me chasing 'round at night
I'm not impressed by glamorous sights

L'il darlin' is obvious pretty
So many guys you may see
But my little darlin' only loves me

I know he only loves me
Yes, he loves me
I know
I know he loves me

Oh yes, I know my man's in love with me
Something, something tells me constantly
Oh, I'll never be the object of all men's eyes
Or win no beauty prize
It's me, and me alone, he can see
He likes to stay home in the evening
Most people tell me he's rare
As long as he loves me, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

I mean what I say when I say it
Don't catch me chasing 'round at night
I'm not impressed by glamorous sights, no no no

L'il darlin' is obvious pretty
So many guys you may see
But my little darlin' only loves me
My little darlin' only loves me
My little darlin' only loves me
He loves only me
