Ooh-ooh baby, I love you, yeah

Wait a minute!
You know my woman told me, she said
'Bo Diddley, I love you but I"m leavin'
I say, 'What? '
She say, 'I love you but I'm leavin' you'

And I say, 'Baby? '
And she kept sayin, 'Whoa, baby I love you'
What you say, girl?
(Whoa-ooh, baby, I love you)
Wow!
Somethin' wrong here, someplace
(Whoa-oh baby, I love you)

Wait a minute!
She said, 'Here's the key to all'v your locks
Take my name off of yo' mailbox
Here's the key to yo' Cadillac
I got my own parked right out back'

I said, 'What? '
It's somethin' wrong here
And she kept talkin' 'bout, I love you
Fellas, let me tell you somethin'
(Whoa-ooh baby, I love you)
Ha, ha, ha
Wooow, woo, somethin' wrong
(Whoa-oh baby, I love (need) you

Wait a minute!
Let me tell you what else she told me
She said, 'You know one thing, Diddley

In the middle of the dining room flo'
I'm all packed and ready to go'
I said, 'But baby, whoa baby, baby, baby'

And then she told me, she said
'Got my own place with some brand new lock
I'm gonna tell the mailman I got a brand new box'

I said, (whoa-ooh baby, I love you)
Woo, you ain't jivin' are you?
There's somethin' wrong some place
She kept talkin' 'bout
Ooo, baby (I want you)
I love you (I love you)

(I love you) I love you
(I love you).
