It's courtin' time
I've been holdin' back a good deal longer than I should of oughta
I bet you got the notion that I couldn't make up my mind
But now I'm ready to tell your mama that I gots to get with her daughter
Put on your good dress, baby, it's courtin' time!

Every day I wait is just another day your baby's lonely
No matter what I'm talkin' about it always comes back to you (you)
I lost more friends this week because the only
The only one I want deserves the best, the very best that I can do
Put on your shoppin' shoes, honey, it's courtin' time!

Yes it is
Yeah
Keep it right there

All the friends I thought I had found out they were not at all
With no regrets, the joy I get from knowin' that you're mine
A thousand times the victor (victor) I am (yes!)
Baby, baby, it's courtin', courtin', courtin', courtin' time!

Yeah!
Get ready
It's courtin' time!
Yeah

Courtin', it's courtin' time! [Repeat: x3]
(It's courtin' time!)
Baby, now you gonna know
What it's like when a boy truly loves a girl
(It's courtin' time!)
Well

When I do that (do that), when I do that (do that), when I do that
I'm gonna make them honeys twirl (twirl)
It's courtin' time!

It's courtin', courtin' time! [Repeat: x2]
It's courtin', courtin', courtin' time, yeah!

Come on and get some, baby
It's courtin' time
Yeah, yeah
