You just don't dare to talk to me, do you?
Girl, give me a shot, I can make it high
You know what I want, so don't you leave me
No, before I let you go

I'll never do you wrong so stay
Now I know I might be moving kind of fast, yeah
For a girl like you, you know I had to ask, yeah
Wanna ride with me? Well baby, here's your chance, girl
Your opportunity, never met someone like me 'cause
