Lyrics for Just To Be With You

On a ship that's made of paper, Oh yeah, I will sail the seven seas. Fight a shark with a toothpick, Crawled home to you on my knees. There ain't nothin' baby I wouldn't do, sugar, Oh yeah baby, just to bring you home with me. I would rise up with the devil, Oh yeah, I would breathe smoke and fire. Or say were I on a tightrope, Walk a canyon on a wire. Just to kiss your sweet lips, honey, Oh yeah baby you know you're my desire. If a shark bought/bite off my leg, Oh baby and the sea were turned to sand. Turn my po' self over darlin' Crawl home to you on my hands. There ain't nothin' nothin' I wouldn't do baby, Oh yeah, oh yeah baby, just to be with you. Give up all of my money, Whoa, oh baby, I'd sleep right down on the floor. Call my mother-in-law honey, Whoa, oh I'd work for you 'til I got sore. I would do anything for you baby, Oh yeah, oh yeah, just to get you home once more.
