1,2,3,4
I saw you rushin' down the street
People were pushin' in the heat
Well, I was stuck behind the wheel

I guess why'all know how it feels
Well, I was tryin' to keep your pace
You kicked me flat out on my face
You sent me cravin' on the moon

Up to the air like a ballon
How come your're looking' so good?
How come you're looking so fine?
I wasn't ready for you

Well, I was just passin' my time
Do you do you do you do you
Do you want to be my baby?
Do you do you do you do you

Do you want to be my baby?
I really gotta know, Oh oh
I really gotta know, Oh oh
It's really tricky to explain

It's really crazy to stay sane
Some things they happen really fast
Some things are born and bred to last
How come you're looking so cool?

How come you're looking so fine?
No one is ready for you
I'm only passin' my time
Do you do you do you do you

Do you want to be my baby?
Do you do you do you do you
Do you want to be my baby? (wanna be my girl?)
I really gotta know, Oh oh

I really gotta know, Oh oh
I really have to know, Oh oh
Really want to know, Oh oh 2x
