Lyrics
Like they always say
What's good for the goose
Is always good for the gander
Oh, Sheila
Oh, baby love me right
Let me love you ‘til I get it right
Can't you let the others be
'Cause with you is where I got to be, yeah
Oh, sugar where you been
Hangin' out with your male friends
Listen, somebody's gonna hurt you
The way you love to keep hurting me
And we sing
Oh, oh, Sheila
Let me love you ‘til the morning comes
Oh, oh, Sheila
You know I want to be the only one
Oh baby
Understand that I want to be the only man
But it seems as though it's getting too hard
And I think I'll start to have my own fun
Oh baby, it's plain to see
That you're qualified to fulfill your needs
You think you pulled one over on me
Well honey, baby, just you wait and see
And we sing
Oh, oh, Sheila
Let me love you ‘til the morning comes
(Just tryin' to say)
Oh, oh, Sheila
You know I want to be the only one
(For her)
Oh, baby, it's one two three
I love you baby honestly
I want to deedle deedle deedle lee
A deedle deedle loo
Oh, oh, Sheila
Uh, uh, uh

Oh, oh, Sheila
Uh, uh, uh
Oh, Sheila
Oh, baby, love me right
Let me love you ‘til we get it right
Oh, can't you let the others be
'Cause with you is where I got to be, yeah
Oh, baby understand
That I want to be the only man
You think you pulled one over on me
Well, honey, baby, just you wait and see
And we sing oh

Oh, oh, Sheila
You know I want to be the only one
Oh, oh Sheila
Let me love you ‘til the morning comes
Oh, oh, Sheila
You know I want to be the only one
Here we go
