Baby baby baby I don't want to Ever give you the wrong idea Call me up we'll hang out I'm down for whatever Tell me am I making myself clear? Love can be a meaningless emotion Pretty words that we're obliged say Rest assured I wont ask for your complete devotion Lets not let our hearts get in the way Finally The weight is off our shoulders Play for keeps Until the night is over Now you know of my cruel intentions I can play a hard game I'll admit So it goes We both know You're worthy of my affection You're not the one who I'll spend my life with Call me up, we'll hang out Call me up, we'll hang out I'm down for whatever Finally The weight is off our shoulders Play for keeps Until the night is over Call me up, we'll hang out Call me up, we'll hang out Call me up, we'll hang out I'm down for whatever Call me up, we'll hang out (Finally) Call me up, we'll hang out Call me up, we'll hang out (Finally) I'm down for whatever Until the night is over Call me up, we'll hang out I'm down for whatever Call me up, we'll hang out I'm down for whatever Call me up, we'll hang out I'm down for whatever Call me up, we'll hang out I'm down for whatever
