what'cha gonna do now?

back in the country a few years ago

there was sure a lot about the girls i don't know

i wondered how to steal a kiss but i was so shy

i wondered a million times every time i'd try. what am i gonna do now?

well

i don't know how

girls started asking

whatcha gonna do now?

well

i was a gettin' sweet on the neighbor's daughter lou

she was cute and sassy and kinda bold too

she told me she'd show me what it's all about

she was gonna teach me how to knock 'em out. well

holding hands and making eyes i learned in lesson one

lou was my teacher and school sure was fun

how to put my arms around came in lesson two

she said now you're ready to learn somethin' new. whatcha gonna do now?

you gotta show me how

oh

don't keep me waiting

whatcha gonna do now?

i took her to the cake walk at the country school

she was hangin' on to me and she wouldn't turn me loose

girls started making eyes

i guess it made lou sore

she took me to the moonlight said i gotta teach you more. kisses by the dozens

hugs to beat the band

i yelled and i pleaded huh

just one little man

lou was sure excited and me

i tell you more

and then i saw a gleam that i ain't never saw before. whatcha gonna do now

oh

how you do know how

whatcha gonna do now.
