I'm like a strange cat running in the heat of the night. I've got a fire in my eyes, got a date with delight. Some kind-a moaning in the heart of the storm. I'm gonna love you so hard, you'll want your lovin' done. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. With my one hand loose I aim to satisfy. You like my loving machine, I like your bloodshot eyes. Real gone girl jumping back with the beat. I'll be your tall cool one with those crazy feet. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. I'm so tall and you're so cute. Let's play wild like wildcats do. You're gonna rock your tall cool one, I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that, ah You stroll, you jump, you're hot, and you tease, 'cause I'm your tall cool one, and I'm built to please. You stroll, you jump, you're hot, and you tease, 'cause I'm your tall cool one, and I'm built to please. M-m-move over mister, step on back in the crowd, 'Cause she's a whole lotta sister 'bout to drive me wild. Lotta places I've seen, lotta names lotta words, 'Cause no one compares to my real gone girl. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. I'm so tall and you're so cute. Let's play wild like wildcats do. You're gonna rock your tall cool one, I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna say that, ah You stroll, you jump, you're hot, and you tease, 'cause I'm your tall cool one, and I'm built to please. You stroll, you jump, you're hot, and you tease, 'cause I'm your tall cool one, and I'm built to please. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you. Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you.
