Hoo hoo hoo
I wanna lie in my bed
And do nothing
I don't care what anyone says
I got you on my mind
Thinking about one thing
Put my lips on your mouth
Keep you coming around
'Cause I like it yeah
Put your hands on my hips
Take me down
Sink this ship
Boy I can't resist
I wanna wear my hair up in a mess
Cut off jeans, can you get with that?
Give you something like you've never had
'Cause I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna tease you till you're begging me
And you're on your knees
And it's hard to breathe
And every other time is just a memory
'Cause I only wanna be wanted by you
Those other guys when they call
I might answer
But you're the one I'm thinking 'bout
So baby don't disappoint
Just move faster
And show me what you're feeling now
Put your lips on my mouth
Keep it coming around
'Cause I like it yeah
Nothing's wrong
It's so right
Got permission from me tonight
So turn off the lights
I wanna wear my hair up in a mess
Cut off jeans, can you get with that?
Give you something like you've never had
'Cause I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna tease you till you're begging me
And you're on your knees
And it's hard to breathe
And every other time is just a memory
'Cause I only wanna be wanted by you
Now I'm going crazy
I'm tired of waiting
My lips are on fire
I just want you to know
I'm losing my patience
For the time that you've wasted
Put your lips on my mouth
Put your lips on my mouth
Put your lips on my
I wanna wear my hair up in a mess
Cut off jeans, can you get with that?
Give you something like you've never had
'Cause I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna tease you till you're begging me
And you're on your knees
And it's hard to breathe
And every other time is just a memory
'Cause I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna wear my hair up in a mess
Cut off jeans, can you get with that?
Give you something like you've never had
'Cause I only wanna be wanted by you
I wanna tease you till you're begging me
And you're on your knees
And it's hard to breathe
And every other time is just a memory
'Cause I only wanna be wanted by you

I just discovered her. What an amazing voice! When I heard her I thought it was Christina Aguilera. I heard that her voice was going all over the place like Christina Aguilera‘s. Dang! Now I can’t get enough of her sound! Amazing!
