 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
