Lyrics (Intro):
Verse:
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah 
Some call me the gangster of love 
Some people call me Maurice 
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love 

People talk about me, baby 
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong 
Well, don't you worry baby 
Don't worry 
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home 

Chorus:
Cause I'm a picker 
I'm a grinner 
I'm a lover 
And I'm a sinner 
I play my music in the sun 

I'm a joker 
I'm a smoker 
I'm a midnight toker 
I get my lovin' on the run 
Wooo Wooooo 

Verse:
You're the cutest thing 
That I ever did see 
I really love your peaches 
Want to shake your tree 
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time 
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time 

Chorus:
Cause I'm a picker 
I'm a grinner 
I'm a lover 
And I'm a sinner 
I play my music in the sun 

I'm a joker 
I'm a smoker 
I'm a midnight toker 
I sure don't want to hurt no one 

Wooo Woooo 

Verse (Outro):
People keep talking about me baby 
They say I'm doin' you wrong 
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama 
Cause I'm right here at home 

You're the cutest thing I ever did see 
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree 
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time 
Come on baby and I'll show you a good time
