(Pete Johnson, Joe Turner)





It was early one Monday mornin',

And I was on my way to school.

It was early one Monday mornin',

When I was on my way to school.

That was the mornin'

When I broke my mother's rule.





I've been in love with you, baby,

Before I learned to call your name.

I've been in love with you, baby,

Before I learned to call your name.

Now you're in love with someone else

I know that's gonna drive me insane!





~interlude~





Ooh wee baby,

You sure look good to me.

Ooh wee baby,

You sure look good to me.

Please tell me, pretty mama

Who can your great new lover be?
