I begged her, I pleaded, I told her: Baby, come out of your shell,

I told her: Maybe, you'll find that it's swell,

I argued, I threatened, I said: You can't send me home,

Not like this, then I finally got my kiss.

<musical interlude>

I begged her, I pleaded, I told her: Baby, come out of your shell,

And I told her: Maybe, you'll find that it's swell,

She argued, then I threatened: You can't send me home,

Not like this, then I finally got my kiss.
