Yes, you girl!
Women, where you been?
Ain't seen you i--ah' don't
know how long--since when.
Hey, girl!
Jump out now!
You been gone so long.
Thought ya' dug a deep ol'
hole--done buried yo' soul.
Hey, girl!
Come see sun
before the showers fall
an' blue skies cloud with rain.
Come drown yo' sorrow--call.
Come callin' now!
Ah' ain't just saying 'lo,
girl. Ain't keepin' me cool
fo' some sassy chick. No!
Hey, girl!
Bet yo' smile
An' twinklin' eyes is good--
Bet yo' laugh fills the room--
Ah' knows you girl, real good.
Hey, girl!
Where you been?
Ain't spent no time alone
this long before--miss you
girl--when you comin' home?
Hey, girl!
