Get a head start
It won't help none
Betcha I'll still catch you


Strawberry shortcake
With cream on top

Tell me the name
Of your sweetheart


You're the little girl I used
To chase around the block
How well I remember

When I used to tell you

Get a head start

It won't help none
Betcha I'll still catch you


If I beat you home
You know the rules
You got to let me

Kiss you, pretty baby

Strawberry shortcake

With cream on top
You're the one who's
Stolen my poor heart


Little girl
Chasing you is gonna stop

I'll take you to a beach
And, baby


I'll pick the time
You won't know it


Take you by surprise
And when I do
You won't run no longer

Pretty baby

Strawberry shortcake

With cream on top
I'm gonna sneak
Into your heart


So, be on your toes
I'm checking you

Around the clock
You know just what I'm after
You know it's you

I'm after, pretty baby

Yeah, yeah, girl

I'll pick the time
You won't know it


Take you by surprise
And when I do
You won't run no longer

Pretty baby

Get a head start

(Get it, baby)
It won't help none
Betcha I'll still catch you

(Don't you know I will)

If I beat you home

(If I do)
You know the rules
You got to let me

Kiss you, pretty baby

Get a head start

(Get it, baby)
It won't help none
Betcha I'll still catch you...
