it's time to stop shoppin' around

you gave me space

girl

you gave me air

you let me run and rip

and when i've done my trip

you've been waitin' right here

you gave me leeway

you gave me my way

now you're actin' like

you're 'bout to give me the highway

i better straighten up

it's time to stop shoppin' around

it's time to stop dukin' of earl

it's time to stop jimmy mackin'

and get myself back in your arms again

i've been a rover

girl

i've been a mover

you just swallowed your pride

and stood on the side

and let me maneuver

well

you gave me freedom

you gave me rope

i haven't already hung myself i hope

i better straighten up

it's time to stop shoppin' around

well

it's time to stop dukin' of earl

girl

don't you know

it's time to stop jimmy mackin'

and get myself back in your arms again

at first it was nice

takin' mama's advice

and play the game of pick and choose

but then along came you

and that's when i knew

i'd found that woman that i don't want to lose

my way was a dream

girl

your way is real

you had to shake me up

just to wake me up

and show me how i feel

mmm. i showed you my way

you showed me your way

now you're actin' like

you're 'bout to show me the doorway

i better straighten up

it's time to stop shoppin' around

don't you know that

it's time to stop dukin' of earl

well

it's time to stop jimmy mackin'

and get myself back in your arms again

it's time to stop shoppin' around

it's time to stop dukin' of earl

it's time to stop jimmy mackin'

yeah

and get myself back in your arms again

it's time to stop shoppin' around

don't you know that

it's time to stop dukin' of earl

well

it's time to stop jimmy mackin'

and get myself back in your arms again

it's time to stop shoppin' around

it's time to stop dukin' of earl

it's time to stop jimmy mackin'

yeah

and get myself back in your arms again.
