Colour me your car
Colour me your colour, darling
I know who you are
Come up off your colour chart
I know where you're comin' from
Call me (call me) on the line
Call me (call me) my love
You can call me any day or night
Call me
Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough
Emotions come, i don't know why
Cover up love's alibi
Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) oh my love
When you're ready
We can share the wine
Call me
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
He speaks
The languages of love
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
Amore, chiamami, chiamami
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
Appelle-moi mon cherie,
Appelle-moi
Anytime, anyplace,
Anywhere, any way
Anytime, anyplace,
Anywhere, any day-ay
Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) for a ride
Call me, call me for some overtime
Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me in a sweet design
Call me (call me), call me
For your lover's lover's alibi
Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me)
Oh, call me, oo-hoo-hah
Call me (call me) my love
Call me, call me any, anytime
