[Intro] (Ooh, ooh) (Shoo-bop, shoo-bop) [Verse 1] I’ma hold you close, baby Under the neon glow I’ll sway all night with you Real nice and slow But one thing I won’t do No matter how you beg Is take off my turtleneck My turtleneck [falsetto] My turtleneck My turtleneck [vocal runs] My turtleneck [Chorus] Please stop asking me to take off my turtleneck Baby, I’m dressed strange but my love’s correct Baby, loving you is my favorite habit Kiss my cheek, not through the fabric ’Cause all I wanna do is slow dance with you In my turtleneck In this real fine cashmere turtleneck (Mmm, the way this turtle) Hugging my neck, snug as can be I’m getting warm, but it stays on me No, I’m not taking this T-N-R off I’ll spin you round till the band cuts off [Verse 2] You keep laughing, baby Say I look absurd But every time you smile at me I forget my words You can steal my heart You can cash my check But you can’t take my turtleneck [Chorus] Please stop asking me to take off my turtleneck Baby, I’m dressed strange but my love’s correct Baby, loving you is my favorite habit Kiss my cheek, not through the fabric ’Cause all I wanna do is slow dance with you In my turtleneck In this real fine cashmere turtleneck [Bridge] Maybe it’s pride Maybe it’s style Maybe this sweater’s been with me a while Maybe I look like a fool, that’s true But I feel like a king when I dance with you [Outro] I’ma hold you close, baby (Baby) Under the neon glow I’ll sway all night with you Real nice and slow But one thing I won’t do Is take off my turtleneck My turtleneck My turtleneck My turtleneck Stop asking, stop asking Stop asking me to take off my turtleneck Stop asking, I won’t do it, I won’t do it Stop asking me to take off my turtleneck I won’t do it, I won’t do it My turtleneck My turtleneck
