Lyrics

Penny lover, don't walk on by Penny lover, don't you make me cry Can't you see, girl, who my heart's beating for? You're the only girl that I adore The first time I saw you Oh, you looked so fine And I had a feeling One day you'd be mine Honey you came along and captured my heart Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss When I'm all alone it's you that I miss Girl, a love like yours is hard to resist Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Penny lover, my love's on fire Penny lover, you're my one desire Tell me, baby, could this be true? That I could need someone like I need you Nights warm and tender Lying next to you Girl, I surrender What more can I do? I've spent all of my life in search of your love Now there's one more thing I'd like to say Don't you ever take your sweet love away Girl, I'll do anything, just please stay Woah, woah-oh I don't understand it, oh, what's come over me But I'm not gonna worry, no, not anymore 'Cause when a man's in love, he's only got one story That's why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss When I'm lost and alone, it's you that I miss With a love like yours, it's hard to resist Oh-oh-oh Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by) Penny lover, don't you make me cry (don't you make me cry, baby) Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by) Penny lover, don't you make me cry (oh, Penny, baby) Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by) I remember the first time I saw you, baby (Penny lover, don't you make me cry) You had the look in your eye, you had the look in your eye, yeah, yeah Ooh, pretty baby I just wanted to reach out and touch you, baby I wanna reach out and hold ya, I want to reach out and say, "Ooh-ooh" Don't make me cry I wanna talk about you every day (Penny lover) Need you, baby, need you, baby Oh, Penny (Penny lover) Oh, Penny, baby Can't you see I need you, baby? (Penny lover, ooh, ooh) Don't you walk on by Ooh, ooh-ooh Penny lover Can't you see how much I need you, baby? My Penny (Penny lover, ooh, ooh) Don't you walk on by Oh, oh, Penny
