I don’t know what you want
But when your lady needs some lovin ’then you better get on it
It ain’t no fancy car, it ain’t no diamond ring
It’s in the way you move your body that will make her sing

I don’t know where she from
But she’s a’looking like the kind to make a man go dumb
It could be sweet Virginia, could be Tennessee
But it don’t matter where she come because she coming for me

Well, the doctor told my baby she had pretty toes
But he ain’t never seen them wiggle, no the doctor don’t know
‘bout the way she make me feel with a kiss on the nose
Oh, what my baby want
he don’t know
he don’t know
he don’t know
he don’t know

I don’t know what you need
But when your lady need some lovin’, best be ready indeed
It ain’t no furry coat, it ain’t no fancy dress
‘cause she looks better wearing nothing, this I must confess

I’ll never promise you a penny, I ain’t got no dimes
But I will give you all my lovin’, give it all of the time
And when the preacher from the pulpit said I ain’t been good
Well he’s a’talking ‘bout a lovin’ he aint’ understood

Well, the doctor told my baby she had pretty toes
But he ain’t never seen them wiggle, no the doctor don’t know
‘bout the way she make me feel with a kiss on the nose
Oh, what my baby want
he don’t know
he don’t know
he don’t know
he don’t know
