Since the day we met 
she was always direct 
told me “us” was a passing phase 

but I did not believe her 
for my hearts a deceiver 
telling me she’d come around some day 

I’m a whim, just a whim 
I’m a passing thought 
in the mind of the girl that I love 

Though her kisses are sweet 
and her body has heat 
I ain’t much when push comes to shove 

I was singing my song 
when a man came along 
said he liked the sound of my voice 

he had arms that could hold me 
said he never would scold me 
scooped me up and he gave me no choice 

I’m a whim, just a whim 
I’m a passing thought 
in the mind of the man that I love 

Though his kisses are sweet 
and his body has heat 
I ain’t much when push comes to shove 

With a kiss on the cheek 
and a “see you next week” 
She hung me out with the linen to dry 

You might think it’d be better 
just’a up and forget her 
but forgetting is just loving a lie 

I’m a whim, just a whim 
I’m a passing thought 
in the mind of the girl that I love 

Though her kisses are sweet 
I ain’t much when push comes to shove 

With the finest cigars 
and the fanciest cars 
he wrapped me up in a ribbon of gold 

but his presents so lavish 
left my lonely heart famished 
he cooped me up in his castle alone 

I’m a whim, just a whim 
I’m a passing thought 
in the mind of the man that I love 

Though his kisses are sweet 
and his body has heat 
I ain’t much when push comes to shove 

ooOOoooh, OoOoOh, OoOoOh, OoOoh (x4)

I’m a whim, just a whim 
I’m a passing thought
In the mind of the man that I love 

though her kisses are sweet 
and his body has heat 
I ain’t much when push comes to sho- 

I ain’t much when push comes to sho- 

I ain’t much when push comes to sho- 

I ain’t much when push comes to shove.
