Sexy Thang
Chanté Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How you've touched my life,
I have no words to describe you,
Do you remember when you wrote
"I love you" in my hand
I thought to myself "this is the man",
There's something about you
You've got that sexy thang goin' on,
You've got that sexy thang
Don't you know exactly what drew me to you,
Was it your sexy eyes
That see right through me
Or was it your caress that provides
Without words or contest,
That you know and I know you're the best,
There's something about you
You've got that sexy thang goin' on,
You've got that sexy thang goin' on,
You've got that sexy thang
My love's automatic,
When it comes to you,
I'm at your command,
There's nothing I won't do,
Claim me as your own,
I don't mind possession,
You know and I know,
You're my obsession
You've got that sexy thang goin' on,
You've got that sexy thang goin' on,
You've got that sexy thang
Ever since that day I met you, baby,
You've had it goin' on,
Don't know how you do it, baby,
But you know how to turn me on,
You've got it goin' on,
And I like what is goin' on,

Call my name all night and day,
All I do is want you, baby,

You've got it,
Hey you, you've got it,
