mister!

She was a cute little blondie with a great big smile,
She lived just a few doors down
Her bright green eyes and precocious ways
were the talk of the whole town.

Older folks would nod and grin at those cute little curls
Dangling from her pretty little head
Only fools thought it was empty
but they paid attention when she said

"Mister! What are you doing?"
She said "Mister! What you got goin' on here?"
There is power in her sweetness
Command in her meekness
And her love is oh so very clear...

I could never figure out just how she always knew
what i meant before I'd start
to ask her to dance i had to be a man
and finally tell her what was really in my heart

To hold her in my arms, press into that smile
under a starry sky in the autumn air
I linked our fingers, squeezed her hand
but when I ran my fingers through her golden hair

She said "Mister! What are you doing?"
She said "Mister! What you got goin' on here?"
There is power in her sweetness
Command in her meekness
And her love is oh so very clear...
