I don't need, a whole lots 'a money, I don't need, a big, fine car
I got everything that a man could want
I got more than I could ask for

Now, I don't have to run around, I don't have to stay out all night
'Cause I got me a sweet, a sweet lovin' woman
And she knows just how to treat me right

Well my baby, she's all right
Well my baby, she's clean out of sight, don't you know that she's
She's some kind 'a wonderful
She's some kind 'a wonderful, yes she is, she's a
She's some kind 'a wonderful, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I hold her in my arms, you know she sets my soul on fire
Ooh, when my baby kisses me, my heart becomes filled with desire
When she wraps her lovin' arms around me
It 'bout tires me out of my mind,
Yeah when my baby kisses me, chills run up and down my spine

Well my baby, she's all right
Uh, my baby, she's clean out of sight, don't you know that she's
