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
