Lyrics

Loretta

Lovely Loretta

I'd like to know you better

Sure would like to know what's

Goin' on in your head

Sweet juicy Lucy

Go crazy if you chose me

Sure would like to help you

Stop fallin' out'a your bed

Lovely Loretta you know I'm scared to bet ya

I don't know if I went if I'd win or I'd lose

Stronger the whiskey, ya got to be a Frisky

But ya got something I'd really, like to use

Lovely Loretta

I saw ya in a magazine

Set my details to the gettin' scene

Lovely Loretta you're lookin' so good to me

Helps to make my dreams reality

Lovely Loretta, you know I've got to get ya

You know that its only a simple matter of time

Save my sanity, oh, girl you gotta use me

Loretta come and help me stop goin' out'a my mind

Loretta come and help me stop goin' out'a my mind

Lovely Loretta

Lovely Loretta

Lovely Loretta
