What a loving Romeo was Eddie MacDuff
when it came to making love
he was a bit rough,
he had a girlie oh so cute
and when they sat in the parlor
you'd think that he ws an awful brute
if you could hear her holler.

Eddie steady, steady, Eddie,
please don't hold me tight
'cause it isn't right Eddie,
steady, steady Eddie,
If you must be sentimental
treat me just a bit more gentle,
can't you stop it please now
drop it do you want me to call
for my Ma. I want your affection dear
I can't refuse it
but think of my complexion
I don't wanna lose it.
Eddie, steady, steady, Eddie,
you know that you're going too far.

Eddie steady, steady, Eddie,
please don't hold me tight
'cause it isn't right Eddie,
steady, steady Eddie,
If you must be sentimental
treat me just a bit more gentle,
can't you stop it please now
drop it do you want me to call
for my Ma. I want your affection dear
I can't refuse it
but think of my complexion
I don't wanna lose it.
Eddie, steady, steady, Eddie,
you know that you're going too far.

They've been keeping company
for over a year
all the neighbours
know whenever Eddie is near.
He never seems to understand
what his sweetie keeps on telling,
for when he starts in to hold her hand
the neighbours hear her yelling.

Eddie steady, steady, Eddie,
please don't hold me tight
'cause it isn't right Eddie,
steady, steady Eddie,
If you must be sentimental
treat me just a bit more gentle,
can't you stop it please now
drop it do you want me to call
for my Ma. I want your affection dear
I can't refuse it
but think of my complexion
I don't wanna lose it.
Eddie, steady, steady, Eddie,
you know that you're going too far.

Eddie steady, steady, Eddie,
please don't hold me tight
'cause it isn't right Eddie,
steady, steady Eddie,
If you must be sentimental
treat me just a bit more gentle,
can't you stop it please now
drop it do you want me to call
for my Ma. I want your affection dear
I can't refuse it
but think of my complexion
I don't wanna lose it.
Eddie, steady, steady, Eddie,
you know that you're going too far.
