I'll be beside the phone waiting for you.
Love this site, usually checking out this site from time to time is clean, material for a really good laugh. We almost always end up laughing until we cry, our sides hurt, or (sorry) pee.
I'll be gone
I'll be a shining star waiting for you.
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you.
I'll be home, I'll be a cyclone baby for you.
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone, waiting for you!
I'll be home, I'll play the xylophone, waiting for you!
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone, waiting for you!
I'll be home, oh baby, 'side the phone, waiting for you!
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone, waiting for you!
I'll be home
I'll be a xylophone waiting for you.
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you.
I'll be over again
I'll be over at 10:00
I'll leave a xylophone waiting for you.
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you.
If you were my toy
To you I'm a toy

A little time and I'll make you mine.
A little time and I'll make you happy.
Although you're untrue
I'm a crackhead to you
All the more.
Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you
All the more.
And messing around
And mess me around
Billy Bailey, try to find
A little time, and I'll make you happy.
Baby, Baby, try to find
A little time, and I'll make you happy.

A little time, and I'll make you happy.

A little time, and I'll make you happy.
Billy Bailey, try to find
A little time, and I'll make you happy.
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time, and I'll make you happy.
