You make me wanna just dance and sing
You make me feel like I'm a natural man
You tell me when you want to come and go
Make me say I want a little bit more, listen

What you want
How you want
When you want
Every time you want it
That's a good idea
Yes it is, babe
It's a good idea

Let me tell you somethin', now
You make me spend my money
That's a fact yes it is now, huh
You little girl you show me where I'm at
Yes you do mama now

Won't you kick of your shoe little mama
Throw 'em on the floor now baby
Kick off your shoe little honey
Throw 'em on your daddy's table

Cause
What you want
How you want
When you want
Every time you want it
That's a good idea
Yes it is, babe
Real groovy idea

Let me tell you, huh, huh, huh
You just pretty as a movie star
So sweet as a chocolate candy bar
Let me tell you somethin'

Won't you kick of your shoe little mama
Throw 'em on the floor now baby
Kick off your shoe little honey
Throw 'em on your daddy's table

Cause
What you want
How you want
When you want
Every time you want it
It's a good idea
Yes it is, babe
Real groovy idea

If you wanna go to the movie
It's a good idea
Downtown, shoppin'
It's a good idea
If you wanna go to the drugstore
It's a groovy idea
If you wanna make love
