Lyrics
Well I've been thinkin'
Whatcha gonna do little girl on our first date
Well I've been thinkin'
When I hold your hand little girl whatcha gonna say
Well whatcha gonna do when I hold you tight
Whatcha gonna do when I say goodnight
Whatcha gonna do little girl when I kiss your lips
If all of my dreams come true just like I want them to
I know little girl exactly what you're gonna do
Well I've been thinkin'
oh please little girl won't you be my steady date
[instrumental break]
Well I've been thinkin'
Whatcha gonna do little girl on our first date
I've been thinkin'
When I hold your hand little girl
Whatcha gonna say
Well whatcha gonna do when I hold you tight
Whatcha gonna do when I say goodnight
Whatcha gonna do little girl when I kiss your lips
If all of my dreams come true just like I want them to
I know little girl exactly what you're gonna do
Yes I know little girl exactly what you're gonna do
