Lyrics


Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover

'Till I talked to my daddy he say

He said, you ain't seen noting

'Till you're down on a muffin

Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways


I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder

All the times I can reminisce

Ah the best thing lovin' with her sister and her cousin

Started with a little kiss, like this


See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school

With your feet flyin' up in the air

Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle

You be swingin' like you just didn't care


So I took a big chance at the high school dance

With a missy who was ready to play

Was it me she was foolin'?

'Cause she knew what she was doin'

Taught me how to walk this way

She told me to


Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Ah, just give me a kiss


Like this

School girl Sadie with the classy kinda sassy

Little skirt climbing way up her knees

There was three young ladies in the school gym locker

When I noticed they was lookin' at me


I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady

Till the boys told me something I missed

Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor

Took me just a little kiss, like this


See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school

With your feet flyin' up in the air

Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle

You be swingin' like you just didn't care


So I took a big chance at the high school dance

With a missy who was ready to play

Was it me she was foolin'?

'Cause she knew what she was doin'

Told me how to walk this way

She told me to


Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, walk this way

Walk this way, talk this way

Just give me a kiss

Like this
