Lyrics[]
How many more times, treat me the way you wanna do
How many more times, treat me the way you wanna do
When I give you all my love
Please, please be true
I'll give you all I've got to give, rings, pearls, and all
I'll give you all I've got to give rings, pearls, and all
I've got to get you together baby
I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl
Oh, when's the last time I done asked you?
I was a young man, I couldn't resist
Started thinkin' it over, just what I had missed
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then
Whoops, oh, Lord, well I did it again
Now I've got ten children of my own
I got another child on the way that makes eleven
But I'm in constant heaven
I know it's all right in my mind
'Cause I got a little school girl and she's all mine
I can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit
But I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give
Oh, Rosie, oh, girl, oh, Rosie, oh yeah
Steal away now, steal away
Steal away, baby, steal away
Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play
Why don't you come for me, baby?
Steal away, alright, alright
Well, they call me the hunter, that's my name
Call me the hunter, that's how I got my fame
Ain't no need to hide, ain't no need to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my gun
How many more times, barrel house all night long
How many more times, barrel house all night long
Well I've got to get to you, baby
Oh, please come home
Why don't you listen to me, babe?
Why don't you please come home?
Why don't you please come home?
Why don't you please come home?
