Don't want no fancy diamonds
Don't want your mother's pearls
Don't want you to tell me
I'm your only girl
Just want a man to come on by, pick me up and take me for a ride
Why can't you be my sweet somethin' steady on the side.
Don't need your folks for dinner
I don't need to impress
Don't need to walk the aisle
I don't need the fancy dress
Don't need to hear you love me while you look deeply in my eyes
Why can't you be my sweet somethin' steady on the side
Please don't tell me your middle name
Don't tell me where you went to school
Don't come runnin' to me in the rain
You're gonna wind up somebody's fool
Don't call me in the daytime
And ask about my day
Don't be sittin' on my doorstep
When you know that I'm away
Just hear my body callin' and you won't be denied
Why can't you be my sweet somethin' steady on the side
