Love me daddy, love me all the time 
Love me until I pass away 
I'm just wild about my loving 
Love me night and day 
I used to have an old man who never did like loving 
That man was not my kind 
I found someone who likes loving like me 
And you can pass my house and hear me crying 
I want a man to be real nice to me and call me mama, I say mama 
I don't want no man if he can't call me mama, I say mama 
He's got to be nice and kind 
Got to love me all the time 
And when he starts loving all you can hear me saying 
Oh papa, please your mama 
Lord, I want a man I can play with all night long 
I want a man to take back round to my mama's home 
And when he loves me in that oldfashioned way 
I don't mind dying everyday 
Because lovin', lovin' is the thing I'm just wild about 
I want a man that I can play with all night long 
I want a man to take back round to my mama's home 
And when he loves me in that oldfashioned way 
I don't mind dying every day 
Because lovin', lovin' is the thing I'm just wild about
