Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, you're such a bad thing
Standing there all alone
Looking so good to me baby
Can't do no wrong (hey, baby)

Put your arms around me
Set my world on fire
They ain't never gonna be nobody like you baby
Honey, that's no lie (hey, honey)

You put that spell on me
I'll tell you, honey
You know you set me free
Hey, little girl you know my hearts desires
Come on and give it to me, baby
I can't deny ya

Hey, hey, what I'm sayin' is
Do it to me one more time
Oh, give you one more chance
This heart of mine
Do it to me baby (do it one more time)
Can't get enough of your love

Oh, you're my Motown lover (you're my Motown lover)
Girl of my dreams (girl of my dreams)
When you laugh, when you cry
Girl, that look in your eyes
You're my everything, oh baby,
Oh baby, oh baby

You're puttin' that spell on me
I'll tell you baby
You know you set me free
Ah, little girl you know my heart's on fire
I'm sayin' come do it to me baby
It's you I desire

Hey, hey, what I'm sayin' is
Do it to me one more time
Oh, give you one more chance
This heart of mine
Do it to me baby (do it one more time)
Can't get enough of your love
Can't get enough of your love

Whoa, oh, my friends say I'm a dreamer
It takes a fool in love
To know what I'm feeling
Each time you say goodbye
I find a reason why to give us one more try
Knowing, knowing, baby
You're gonna hurt me oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, do it to me one more time
I give you one more chance this heart of mine




Do it to me one more time
Can't get enough of your love
