MARIO "Directions"

[Mario Talking]
Baby If you tryin' to get to good love you gotta

[Mario Singing]
Follow the directions

I can tell
That you never been and you
Waste a lot of time
Cause you tryin' find
This place but it ain't in a phone book
And what you heard is wrong so it ain't no need to look
You heard a lot about it
And now you wanna go
But the secret is
Girl you got to know
Somebody that's been there before
'N girl you lookin' at 'em
Oh girl you lookin' at 'em

If you wanna go there
I'm a show you how
But you can't be scared
Listen close
'N pay attention
'N Follow the directions
You gonna make a left
On touchin' Blvd.
When you see Kissin' St
Make a right keep straight
And go all the way
And that will run you into good love
