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...
