I came here tonight to get you out of my mind,
I'm gonna take what I find (Uh oh, yeah!)
So open the box, don't need no key I'm unlocked
And I won't tell you to stop (Uh oh, yeah!)

Hey boy!
I don't need to know where you've been,
All I need to know is you and no need for talking
Hey boy!
So don't even tell me your name,
All I need to know is whose place,
And let's get walking

All I wanna do is love your body
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So come on and give me your worst (Uh oh, yeah)
We're moving faster than slow,
If you don't know where to go,

Hey boy!
I don't need to know where you've been,
All I need to know is you and no need for talking
Hey boy!
So don't even tell me your name,
All I need to know is whose place,
And let's get walking
Say say hey
