(Uh, ta-ta)
Oh, Gabriel, huh
Oh, what would you like to do to me?
Would you touch it like that?
Or maybe hit it right back?
Oh, Gabriel, what you to do to me

I really get a rush from you
And I try to hide my crush on you
When I gotta touch, I gotta trust
I gotta feel that you want me too, yeah
I really get a rush from you

I want you to know that I can't get enough
My kryptonite lover, and you're such a rush
I want you to be mine, mine
Oh no, baby, I want you to be mine
'Cause I'm your lady, baby, okay

Maybe vows of jealousy
When they hear you are with me
When you're passin' by, I always drift and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're so sweet, Heaven knows
Oh, Gabriel, just take it all

I really get a rush from you
And I try to hide my crush on you, you, you, you
When I gotta touch, I gotta trust
I gotta feel that you want me too, yeah
I really get a rush from you

I want you to know that I can't get enough
My kryptonite lover, and you're such a rush
I want you to be mine, mine
Oh no, baby, I want you to be mine
'Cause I'm your lady, baby

Oh, Gabriel
You can't expect me to cry to ways
My love to break
I been so good to you
Talk me (?)
Please don't make me drift too long on you
All the magic that you charm me with
And all the (?), the feels I have is true, yeah
And I'm maybe you'd just like to
Come my way and maybe stay
Oh, oh no, baby, your lady
Ooh, yeah
I get a rush, I got a crush
And I feel that you want me too, yeah
I really get a rush from you

I want you to know that I can't get enough
My kryptonite lover, and you're such a rush
I want you to be mine, mine
Oh no, baby, I want you to be mine




'Cause I'm your lady, baby
Oh Gabriel
