Writers: Apples Grossman

Lyric: Chorus:

There aren't enough
boys in Berrytown
I can't elope with any one around
I've got to find the apple of my eye
Honey, do you love me
I need a steady guy

Verse1

It's been three years since I had a date
Last time I had one, I found it on my plate
Now my nights are melancholy
Wish I was raisin' cane
Just need some lovin' 'fore I go plum insane

Chorus

So I went up to Quincy
who's a friend beyond compare
He says, "Where can a man go
if a woman isn't there?"
Currently I know a man
who might appeal to you.
So I'll arrange a date
before the night is through

Chorus

Now Quincy's friend Vinnie
turned out to be divine
Figure we were ripe for love
When we polished off the wine.
That love has heartache
this I won't dispute
Just a brief reminder...
Don't forget about the fruit.

Chorus

I said,
Honey, do you love me
I need a steady guy
