Verse 1

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 pompetous of love 

Verse 2

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

Chorus

Cause' I'm a picker, I'm a grinner
I'm a lover, and I'm a sinner
Playin' 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, Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Instrumental

D G A G x4

Verse 3

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
Ooh wee baby, I 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
Playin' 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,

People talk about me baby

I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree
Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Ooh wee baby, I sure show you a good time
