Lyrics I Cover the Waterfront - Jimmy Witherspoon

I Cover the Waterfront

I love to look in my baby’s face
I love to feel that silk and lace
And when she kiss she nearly makes me shout
Great God almighty when the lights go out
I love to see her walking down that street
She always dresses so nice and neat
You’ll never know what it’s all about
Great God almighty when the lights go out
Now you can use your imagination
You’d still be far behind
There is nothing in creation
Like that girl that girl of mine
I love to hold her when she talks that talk
I love to watch her when she walks that walk
And if I pet her when she is trying to pout
Great God almighty when the lights go out
Yeah
You can use your imagination
You’d still be far behind
There is nothing in creation
Like that girl that girl of mine
I love to hold her when she talks that talk
I love to watch her when she walks that walk
And if I pet her when she is trying to pout
Great God almighty when the lights go out
Great God almighty when the lights go out
