Miller-Ertegun-Curtis

Some people call me the space cowboy
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Because I speak of the pompitous of love

People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Don't you worry, baby, don't worry
Because I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker
I play my music in the sun
I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I sure don't want to hurt no one

You're the cutest thing that I ever did see
I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Oo-ee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker
I play my music in the sun
I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I sure don't want to hurt no one, yeah
