Hey, Louise....How are you honey?

Speak up I find it hard to hear

It's been a while since we've talked

And I'm makin' my position clear

I've been courtin' you for a month babe

And we haven't had a moment alone

Seems like everywhere we go

You gotta bring your doggy along

We go walkin' on Sunday, Tuesday's the vet

A lick is all the lovin' I've been able to get

There are patches of grass growing crazy outside on my lawn

Chorus

I ain't askin' for the moon babe

I'd be happy just to be down home

So meet me at the corner

And leave your mangy dog at home

I've been savin' my money, been out on the take

Tryin' to afford the fancy moves you make

But it don't mean a damn when I call on the phone and you're gone

Chorus

I ain't askin' for the moon babe

I'd be happy just to be down home

So meet me at the corner

And leave your mangy dog at home
