And I can turn you wicked, and after the court
It's been ajourned, I got a lot to learn
I get extatic, need the gatic
I'm still romantic, if only you discover this full time fanatic
You give it up, give, give, give, it up
If only we're together we can reach the top
Everybody wants you
Say everybody wants your lovin'
I just like to make you mine
Mihine, yeah
