Lyrics:
If you are tryin' to screw me baby
Take my advice
Opportunity baby, never knocks twice
If you are tryin' to fool me baby
Don't play around
'cos when I get to you baby
I wont make no sound
'cos I'll be creepin'
I'll be creepin' baby
I'll hold you in my arms
Like nobody else
And when I know we're apart
I wont take no less.
Take all you things and move far away
Take all your furs and rings baby
But don't you sing hurray
You can change your address
But you wont get far
Don't make no difference wherever you are
Yeah 'cos I'll be creepin' baby
And I'll be creeping 'round your door
I'll hold you in my arms, like nobody else
And when I know we are apart, I wont take no less
I'll hold you in my arms, like nobody else
And when I know we are apart, I wont take no less
Take all you things and move far away
Take all your diamond rings now baby
But don't you sing hurray
You can change your address
But you wont get far
Don't make no difference baby wherever you are
Yeah 'cos I'll be creepin' 'round your door
