Pretty Baby with the blue Jeans on
You've been starin' at me all night long
I know you want it and you know it's wrong
But you don't worry about a thing, do ya

I feel you sweating me from over there
I see this girl you're with but you don't care
Acting like I'm shy but Boy you best beware
I can light your match and start a fire in here

I know you want it
I know you need it
And how I'm feeling
I really really really wanna
Strike the match strike strike the match
Strike the match strike strike your match

I know you want it
I know you need it
And how I'm feeling
I really really really wanna
Strike the match strike strike the match
Strike the match strike strike your...

Now I don't mind if we Doecee Doe
Do a little dance to service your ego
But I ain't tryin to take it out that door
You gotta tell your girl to leave
Don't mean to interrupt a perfect date
But I need a man who only spins one plate
Flames are getting higher and they just won't wait
Boy I know you're thirsty come and get your milkshake

I know you want it
I know you need it
And how I'm feeling
I really really really wanna
Strike the match strike strike the match
Strike the match strike strike your match

I know you want it
I know you need it
And how I'm feeling
I really really really wanna
Strike the match strike strike the match
Strike the match strike strike your...

The match
The match
The match
The match
Strike strike the match...

I know you want it
I know you need it
And how I'm feeling
I really really really wanna
Strike the match strike strike the match
Strike the match strike strike your match

I know you want it
I know you need it
And how I'm feeling
I really really really wanna
Strike the match strike strike the match
Strike the match strike strike your...
