Lyrics:

Your heart’s a jumble, baby, now.
You got me figgrin’ it out.
I don’t know why I pray for Sunday
hoping I’ll get some peace
’round this house.

I was dreamin’ of Seville.
You’re in your peignoir,
I’m stayin’ right here.
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I can’t resist it, babydoll.
I loves you down and across.
With your hands on your hips,
at the top of the stairs,
you’re the boss.

I finally see what my pappy
was talkin’ about.
Says, “I love your grandma, son
But I got sixty-one years worth of doubt.”

This ain’t just one of those things
I’m always makin’ up.
Life became just as easy as wakin’ up.
Easy as wakin’ up. Easy.

My heart’s a number, baby, now.
You keep on callin’ it out.
Always hated my name until I
heard it comin’ out of your mouth.

I finally see what my daddy
was talkin’ about.
Says, “I love your momma, son
but sometimes she just puts me out.”

This ain’t just one of those things
I’m always makin’ up.
Life became just as easy as wakin’ up.
Easy as wakin’ up. Easy…a-ha

I finally see what my pappy
was talkin’ about.
Says, “I love your grandma, son
but sometimes she just makes me shout.”

Your heart’s a jumble, baby, now.
You got me figgrin’ it out.
