WALKING ON THE AVENUE

Home demo version 1


Walking down the avenue, walking down ???
Listen now I am new, deep in there always true
Love will just have to be, you're the only one for me
Love will call it ??? creeping down the avenue

Baby if you know it's right, maybe that I'm alright
Come on now ???, baby don't cut me loose
Walking down the avenue
Walking down the avenue

And my girl now if I could, baby I'd do what I could do
I'd call you back and make it right, call it down the avenue
Baby if there was another man, if there was a sweeter man
Baby you know that I would do anything that I could do

And I want another one, baby call it on and on
If you wanna go along, baby don't come alone, come alone
Walking the avenue
Walking on the avenue

Baby when I'm on the ???, the girls come to my table
Oh well they just wanna sit and talk, baby it's a ???
Now boys they all love my walk, baby when I'm walking by
And come out tonight, baby go do what you can do
'Cause I know I mean it's true, and baby I'm in love with you
When I'm walking on the avenue
When I'm walking on the avenue
When I'm walking on the avenue
