Lyric
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
You got the huggin’est arms
The thrillin’est eyes
You’re just my style
And you’re just the right size
Gonna stop
Uh, shoppin’ around
I’m gonna stop
Shoppin’ around ’cause i found the girlie i’m lookin’ for
Oh, the very first time
You touched my lips
Took my little red book
And tore it to bits

Shoppin’ around ’cause i found the girlie i’m lookin’ for
Ain’t no other dolly i’m wantin’ to hold
Hey, hey, baby

Gonna wrap you up and take you home with me

Shoppin’ around ’cause i found the girlie i’m lookin’ for
Ain’t no other dolly i’m wantin’ to hold
Hey, hey, baby

Ooh, ooh, such a pretty little package

Shoppin’ around ’cause i found the girlie i’m lookin’ for
I’m gonna stop
Uh shoppin’ around
