ooh... you're such a rocketship and
she's such a trip; it makes you flip
you have to kiss her
b-b-b-bee stung lips
b-b-b-bee stung lips

now... ow-ow you just want to lock it up and
her boyish hips; you lose your grip
you have to kiss her
b-b-b-bee stung lips
b-b-b-bee stung lips
b-b-b-bee stung... lips
i try to be something i'm not
won't let you down
i try to be something i'm not

her boyish hips; you lose your grip
you have to kiss her
