Hey!

Don't touch kid, sleep with the lights on
Touch kid, how you surprise me
Now roll kid, rock your body off!

You're something like a phenomena
Something like an astronoma
Now roll kid, rock your body off!

She'll make you sweat in the water
Don't fall asleep with the moonlight
She'll make you sweat in the water

Hot time kid
It's cold under the blanket
They loved it
Then shot it
The fastest ran and got it
That story that ease my
They hide it up the sleeves, my

She'll make you sweat in the water
Don't fall asleep with the moonlight
She'll make you sweat in the water

You're something like a phenomena
Something like a phenomena, baby
You're gonna get your body off

Something like a phenomena, baby
You're gonna get your body off
