I'm just sitting on the shelf
Why don't you sit right down and stay a while?
We like the same things and I like your style
It's not a secret
Why do you keep it?
I'm just sitting on the shelf
I've got to get your presence
Let's make it known
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own
