(You-you got the walk)
It's got to be
(You-you got the talk)
It's got to be
(You-you got the walk)
Why can't you see
(You-you got the talk)
It's got to be
It's got to be
Just you and me
Why can't you see
You give me fever
I can't resist
Your tender kiss
It's moments like this
That give me fever
You got the look; you know you got potential
You got the smile you know that drives me wild
You got the touch you know that makes me want ya
You got the eyes; you know you hypnotize
You got the talk that makes me wanna listen
You got walk that's poetry in motion
You got the glow you know that lights my fire
You got to know that you're my one desire
It's got to be
Just you and me
Why can't you see
You give me fever
I can't resist
Your tender kiss
It's moments like that
That give me fever
You got the love that keeps me satisfied
You got the love that I can feel inside
You got the arms you know I need to hold me
You got the charm that knocks me off my feet
You got the lips so tender when you kiss boy
You got the body you know I can't resist
You got to know that I don't want to own ya
You got the one that's really gonna love ya
Tell me...
It's got to be
Just you and me
Why can't you see
You give me fever
I can't resist
Your tender kiss
It's moments like that
That give me fever
You run your fingers through my hair
Through my hair, baby
You send chills up and down my spine
You turn me on, it's just a mystery baby
And I got to have you constantly
It's got to be...
It's got to be...
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
It's got to be
Just you and me
Why can't you see
You give me fever
I can't resist
Your tender kiss
It's moments like that
That give me fever
It's moments like this
(Baby when you touch me)
It's moments like this
(I just don't know what happens)
It's moments like this
(I can't control myself)
It's moments like this
(I just have to let go)
It's got to be
Just you and me
Why can't you see
You give me fever
I can't resist
Your tender kiss
It's moments like that
That give me fever
