Lyrics
YOU'RE NO BEGINNER, BABY
(Coleman/Papageorge)

VERSE #1:
You tell me that you're new to love
Afraid to let it show
You say you're just beginnin'
But you tease like you're a pro
You make believe you've never even
Held somebody's hand
But you keep sendin' signals
Any fool could understand

CHORUS:
YOU’RE NO BEGINNER, BABY
You've got everything it takes
YOU’RE NO BEGINNER, BABY
You've got everything but brakes
You know what you're doin'
And there is no mistake
YOU’RE NO BEGINNER, BABY, BABY

VERSE #2:
Seems to me you've been around
Now don't say that's a lie
Beginners never make a sound
They just come on kinda shy
Well, I guess you think I'm stupid
But, darlin', I'm no fool
I know you'd ace the course
If makin' love was taught in school

(Repeat CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
If you were just beginning
You would never kiss like this
Beginners always show themselves
The way they use their lips

VERSE #3:
Well, I know you been loved before
I know you're worldly wise
Maybe you got really hurt
And you put on this disguise
Well, I know where you're comin' from
Cause I was just like you
But you don't need to hide from me
To do the things you do

END CHORUS:
YOU’RE NO BEGINNER, BABY
You've got everything it takes
YOU’RE NO BEGINNER, BABY
You've got everything but brakes
But I like the way you move me
Please be mine for goodness sakes
YOU’RE NO BEGINNER, BABY, BABY
YOU’RE NO BEGINNER, BABY, BABY
