Whatever turns you on, turns me on, hey (whoo-ooh)
Well who else would I be (a-ha, a-ha)
If I lost this ? sat on me (no, no, no, no)
You know damn well
You'll never change me
I wouldn't be any good (say what)
I really do think you should
Well if you keep it strong, and I'll keep it up (yeah, yeah)
Whatever turns you on, turns you on
And if you set it straight, I will not hesitate
Whatever turns you on, turns me on
[Chorus]
Whatever turns you on, turns me on, hey (whoo-ooh)
Whatever turns you on, turns me on, hey (whoo-ooh)
So you've been walking around in an haze for days and days and days
Ever since you kicked me out of your bed you've be in some kind of haze
How can you feel how you feel how you feel and feel that you're feeling good
I know you know what I'm saying
You know I know we can keep it up all night
And if you keep it strong, and I'll keep it up (yeah, yeah)
Whatever turns you on, (hey) turns you on
And if you set it straight, I will not hesitate
Whatever turns you on, (hey) turns me on
[Chorus]
So you've been walking around in an haze for days and days and days
Ever since you kicked me out of your bed you've be in some kind of haze
How can you feel how you feel how you feel and feel that you're feeling good
And if you keep it strong, and I'll keep it up (yeah, yeah)
Whatever turns you on, (hey) turns you on
And if you set it straight, I will not hesitate
Whatever turns you on, (hey) turns me on
Whatever turns you on, turns me on, hey (whoo-ooh)
Whatever turns you on, turns me on, hey (whoo-ooh)
Whatever turns you on, turns me on, hey (whoo-ooh)
Whatever turns you on, turns me on, hey (oh yeah)
