Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy
Nothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of the feather, we stick together
I'm tellin' you from the start, I can't be torn apart from my guy
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy (my guy)
Nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my guy (my guy, my guy)
I gave my guy my word of honor to be faithful, and I'm gonna
You best be believing I won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion, I think he's tops
My opinion is, he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste, to be exact
He's my ideal, as a matter of fact
No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy (my guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy (my guy, my guy)
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy, we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy (my guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy (my guy, my guy)
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy, we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(What you say?)
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(Tell me more)
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(What's that?)
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
