And I'm losing control
'Cause the power, you're supplying
It's electrifying!
You better shape up, 'cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo, Oo, Oo honey
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo, Oo, Oo honey
You're the one that I want
You are the one I want
Oo, Oo, Oo, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
