Doing things I know you like,
Do your job and not just mine
Bring me on!
It could last if I keep you tight,
Doing things I know you like,
Do your job and not just mine
Bring me on!
Just play my favorite song,
Out of my favorite six songs!
Don't make me wait till dawn,
Just play my favorite song,
Out of my favorite six songs!
Uhu, uhu, uhu!
I don't want your number boy, just want your body,
Good to keep the conversation for some other hottie.
I got a wondering mind, baby don't worry!
No game just come on and hurry!
It could last if I keep you tight,
Doing things I know you like,
Do your job and not just mine
