Ooh yeah
You can fill my cup 
You can fill my bowl 
This train is ready to roll 
Your eyes of fire has stole my soul 
Still coming back for more 

You are the lock I am the key 
Climb on my lemon tree 
You are the one you're on your knees 
You are my little queen 
You know just what I mean 
Climb on my lemon tree 

Make me scream 
All night, all night long 
Gonna get extreme 
All night, all night long 
Make me scream 
All night, all night long 
Gonna get obscene 
All night, all night long 
All night, all night long 

Pretty baby in the back of my car 
Look now you've gone too far 
Have a slice of my lemon pie 
One more will get you high 

You want to know, you want to see 
How much you can squeeze 
You are the one, 
You are a tease 
You love my demon seed 
You know just what I mean 
Climb on my lemon tree 

Make me scream 
All night, all night long 
Gonna get extreme 
All night, all night long 
Make me scream 
All night, all night long 
Gonna get obscene 
All night, all night long 
All night, all night long

Suck it! 

Mmm alright! 

No!

Ah ah ah yeah!

Yeah!

You took me in the wild 
No one around for miles 
You ain't too proud to beg 
Juice running down my leg 
I want a chick who makes me feel 
Mm, closer dear

I want you to be free 
I want you lovin' me 
I want to hear you scream 
I want you just like me

Make me scream 
All night, all night long 
Gonna get extreme 
All night, all night long 

Make me scream 
All night, all night long 
Gonna get obscene 
All night, all night long 
All night, all night long
