The Blenders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right on 4th and Roberts I was mesmerized
I started staring she was baring ev'rything I need
And then I learned she was completely wise to me
She was all alone and so was I and things were looking
Up
I was afraid she'd leave before I took a chance, no
She floated up to me, I thought she'd flee from me
Until
I opened up my mouth and moved in for the kill, Oh...
Tasty, Tasty, Tasty, she tasted very good
I kissed her on the mouth, oh she was the finest food
A kiss upon her eyes sent a shiver down my spine
I'm gonna take this tasty one and tastefully make her
Mine
She looked at me as if to say that I was crazy
Maybe so I am it's not for me to say
I asked her out that night but she was quite a busy
Girl
So I took a rain check for this Saturday
As I walked away I saw her eat that kiss I'd given her
She bit her lip like there was something new
I saw that grin come back then she looked back and gave
A wave
Then she turned and flipped her hair like some girls do
When you meet a girl who gives you everything you need
And more
Give her just one look and she's in your bloodstream
You've got to take the chance and make romance cuz if
You don't
You may never find out that she's tasty as a dream, Oh
Tasty, Tasty, Tasty, she tasted very good
I kissed her on the mouth, oh she was the finest food
A kiss upon her eyes sent a shiver down my spine
I'm gonna take this tasty one and tastefully make her
Mine
Cross the street and kiss me
I'm giving you the green light... Baby
She's got kissable lips, come on baby taste me down
Come on baby taste me down
Cause you've got to be my tasty girl
Sh'es got kissable lips, come on baby taste me down
Come on baby put on those old "UGLIES" records
And be my tasty girl!
