Well, when I saw you walking down the avenue
Ooh, you had this swagger
You held your head up high smilin' at the sky
Like the ghetto didn't matter

You seem to have a clarity in the midst of insanity
That somehow drew me
Ooh, you looked at me and smiled and whoo, honey child
I can't explain but you move me

Maybe it's your eyes or your lips
The way you move your hips I mean
I don't know but I got to have ya
(I got to have you)
Maybe it's something in your eyes
That just brings out ya sexiness
I don't know but I got to have ya
(I got to have you)

For the sake of decency I had to get a hold of me
'Cause ooh I was on fire
Now what was I to say when this man makes me feel this way
My tongue was busy tying

Well maybe we um possibly um get together for dinner
I make a mean Shepard's pie, oh oh oh 
As the words dripped out my mouth he just smiled as they fell out
No need for words or questions

Maybe it's your eyes or your lips
The way you move your hips I mean
I don't know but I got to have ya
(I got to have you baby)
Maybe it's something in your eyes
That just brings out ya sexiness
I don't know but I got to have ya
(I got to have you, got to have you)

I knew when I first looked at you that you would shake my world
And I was cool with that
You and I were meant to be it was so easy to see
There was no mystery just magic

Maybe it's your eyes or your lips
The way you move your hips I mean
I don't know but I got to have ya
Maybe it's something in your eyes
That just brings out ya sexiness
I don't know but I got to have ya

I don't know but I got to have ya
I don't know but I got to have ya
