Well, I don’t want a dipperful of kisses
Cause a dipperful ain’t enough
If I’m going to be your little turtledove
I want a great big bucket of love
Now you tell me that you love me And I want to be your little bride
But every time I ask you to marry me You always put me aside
Well, I’m a getting tired of waiting
You’re going to mess around too late
So cuddle up a little closer
And listen to what I got to say
Well, I don’t want a dipperful of kisses
Cause a dipperful ain’t enough
If I’m going to be your little turtledove
I want a great big bucket of love
I believe you been lying
I think you been a slipping around
I believe you been taking a little stroll
Honey, down around town
Well, I’m a getting tired of waiting
You’d better make up your mind
If you don’t tell me what you’re a going to do
I’m a going to leave you behind
Well, I don’t want a dipperful of kisses
Cause a dipperful ain’t enough
If I’m going to be your little turtledove
I want a great big bucket of love
Well, I don’t want a dipperful of kisses
Cause a dipperful ain’t enough
If I’m going to be your little turtledove
I want a great big bucket of love
