Paper Back Books

Paper back books, paper back books 
My baby's hung up on paperback books 
And that's bad and that's bad and that's bad 
And that's bad and that's bad and that's bad 
I keep sittin' 'round and thinkin' 'bout the little girl I used to have 
And that's bad 

She takes the money daddy gives her for lunch 
And takes and spends it on a piece of junk 
Like paper back books and that's bad 
Paper back books and that's bad 
I keep sittin' 'round and thinkin' 'bout the little girl I used to have 
And that's bad 

I taught her how to kiss from the start 
And now she's learnin' how to break my heart, out of them 
Paper back books and that's bad 
Paper back books and that's bad 
I keep sittin' 'round and thinkin' 'bout the little girl I used to have 
And that's bad 

Paper back books, paper back books 
My baby's hung up on paperback books ... 

Oh, how my baby, well-a she has changed 
She says she learned it from Mickey Spillaine, and his 
Paper back books and that's bad 
Paper back books and that's bad 
I keep sittin' 'round and thinkin' 'bout the little girl I used to have 
And that's bad 

Paper back books, paper back books 
My baby's hung up on paperback books ...
