K.U. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said "hey, now honey, I don't need your money,"
Want you to push me around
You know, I looked you in the eye,
Said "hey baby show me which way to go "
What I intend to do don't you make a move I got an interest in you
Well you know, you know I need,
Sweet little thing like you
Sweet little thing like you
Caught me by the arm, held on tight, I said hey what you trying to do
If I'm gonna make it I'll make it with you I got nothing to lose
Much too strong need a little help when you can help yourself
What I intend to do don't you make a move I got an interest in you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Just down here said hello tell me are you trying to get on
Said hey now honey I don't need your money want you to push me around
You know I looked you in the eye said hey baby show me which way to go
What I intend to do don't you make a move I got an interest in you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know you know I need, sweet little thing like you
Well you know, you know I need, sweet little thing, sweet little thing
Sweet little thing like you
