I got a date tonight with such a sweet little innocent thing

I'll sweep 'er off her feet before she knows what's a-happening

I'm gonna hand her (ooh) my "sweet-talkin'" line

I know it kills her (shriek!) every time

She's gonna love me from the start

And then I'm gonna break her heart



Oh, yes I will Yes, I will Oh, yes I will, yes I will, yes I will!!



I'm just a big bad wolf, I know tonight I'll be looking' so good

She'll be a helpless child just like a-Little Red Riding' Hood

I'm gonna charm her (mmm!) right into a trance

I know she'll never (wow!) stand a chance

She's gonna love me from the start

And then I'm gonna break her heart



Oh, yes I will Yes, I will Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will!!



But I'm a lover!!!

Man, my reputation!!

FADE
