Could you break and shake my cold and stormy weather? Have you got this under control? Show me you know about a woman's soul [Chorus] I'll make you feel the way you wanna feel I love how it's real We're one in two minds Maybe it will stick You'd better be quick I hope that you heard me right Tell me, tell me 'cause I won't wait Suspense I just hate, so spit it out now If you're feeling like I do Won't you come and do it to me So tell me, babe [Chorus] Tell me 'bout it Tell me 'bout it, baby Tell me 'bout it Tell me 'bout it, baby I really wanna know Come on now, what's your story?
