Every time I call you, you don't have an answer
'Cause you always got to go
The first time that I called you, you went to a party
After you went to the show
The second time I called you, brother said he told you
So, baby, you got to know
Girl, if you just don't like me, don't care too much for me
Don't play with my feelings, let me know

Stop, don't tease me
Baby, you've got to please me
My body's burnin' for your love
Ooh, stop, don't tease me
Baby, you've got to pleas me
You know you really turn me on

You turn me on (On, on, on, on)
Turn me on (On, on, on, on)

When you said you liked me
Girl, it went straight through me
I made plans for me and you
Like walkin' out on air
There was nothing really there
And now I feel just like a fool
I thought that I was walking out on concrete
You pulled it from under me
Why you wanna lead me on
Girl, if you just don't like me, don't care too much for me
Don't play with my feelings, let me know

Stop, don't tease me
You've got to please me
Ah, baby, don't you know, you better
Ooh, stop (Give it to me), don't tease me
You've got to please me
Give it to me, baby, won't you want my lovin', baby, ah

Stop, don't tease me
You've got to please me
Ooh, don't you want it, don't you want it, don't you want my love
Ooh, stop (Give it to me), don't tease me
You've got to please me
'Cause I need more than just a taste

You turn me on (On, on, on, on)
You turn me on (On, on, on, on)

Hey
You turn me on, you turn me on
Hey, you
You turn me on, you turn me on
Girl, we've gone too far to turn around
Mmm, my body's burning with desire 'cause you turn me on

I want so much to feel your touch

Ooh... oh
Chicka-chicka, bang-bang
Gotta get a little, I know you're gonna love it
Chicka-chicka, bang-bang
Gotta get a little, I know you're gonna love it

Ah... ooh...
I'm climbing up the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling you're giving me
And, oh... you've gotta stop this teasing
Now's the time for pleasing me, oh

Stop, don't tease me
You've got to please me
Stop (Give it to me), don't tease me
You've got to please me
Oh, baby, oh, baby

Stop (Give it to me), don't tease me
You've got to please me
Gotta get a little a doggone lovin'
Stop, don't tease me
You've got to please me
Baby, don't you want my lovin', now you got to stop this teasin', baby

Stop (Give it to me), don't tease me (Uh-huh)
You've got to please me
'Cause I ain't got no time to waste, oh, baby
Stop (Give it to me), don't tease me (Oh)
You've got to please me
Girl, I need more than just a taste

Stop, don't tease me
You've got to please me
Baby, won't you stop
