SWEET PEA

Tommy Roe



I went to a dance just the other night

I met a girl there she was out of sight

I asked a friend of mine who she could be

he said that her friends just call her Sweet Pea



(chorus)



Oh Sweet Pea

come on and dance with me

come on come on come on and dance with me

Oh Sweet Pea

come on and be my girl

come on come on come on and be my girl



I walked on over and asked her to dance

thinkin' maybe later of makin' romance

but every guy there was thinkin'; like me

I had to stand in line to get a dance with Sweet Pea



(chorus repeat)

I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear

convinced that we oughta get away from there

we took a little walk I held her close to me

and underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea



Oh Sweet Pea I love you can't you see

Love you love you love you can't you see

Oh Sweet Pea come on and be my girl

come on come on come on and be my girl
