Uh, yeah (turn me up)
Uh, uh, uh
Head back, eyes closed
Deep breath, let go
Bare with me, I'll take good care
I'm an expert, other girls just can't compare
You'll be all better, baby, once I'm finished
So be a good patient, be patient
Stay under my observation
And holler back in the morning
I know you never had a girl quite like me, uh, me, uh, me, uh, me
I take a hot boy-oy, and give him cold feet, uh, feet, uh, feet
When it comes to love I'm like a surgeon
I'm a true tactician
I'm a make your body better when we get in the right position
(I'm like a surgeon)

Until your reflexes leave your knees
My love's like anesthesia, I'll rock you fast asleep
