[Repeat: x2] Should have known, should have cared, Should have hung around the kitchen in my underwear Acting like a lady, you should have made me. Oh, should have jumped a little higher, Should have fluttered my mascara like a butterfly. Instead of being lazy, it would have saved me. Someone saved my heart today But someone turned the light back on And ever since you went away Other crushes feel so wrong [Repeat: x2] That special something, that they are hunting They're always wanting more and more Nobody sees the show, Not til my heart says so, If it's not you, oh no I won't have that, Boy if you want to be my specialty, You'll have to get with me and that is that. [Repeat: x2] I won't, oh Unless you want me to I won't oh Get in the queue [Repeat: x2] That special something, that they are hunting They're always wanting more and more [Repeat: x2] Nobody sees the show, Not til my heart says so, If it's not you, oh no, I won't have that, Boy if you want to be my specialty, you'll have to wait for me and that is that. [Repeat: x2] Should have known, should have cared, Should have hung around the kitchen in my underwear Acting like a lady, you should have made me. Oh should have jumped a little higher, Should have fluttered my mascara like a butterfly. Instead of being lazy, it would have saved me.
