Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause the power you're supplying, it's electrifying
You better shape up, 'cause I need a man, and my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
To my heart I must be true
You're the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Honey, the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Can't you see
Oh, yes, indeed
Oh, yes, indeed
If you're filled with affection, you're too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction, feel me
You better shape up, cause I need you now, can you keep me satisfied
You better shape up, you better prove that my love is justified
But I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Honey, the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Honey, the one that I want, ooh ooh ooh
Can't you see
Oh, yes, indeed
Oh, yes, indeed
