She wears those micromini dresses Hair hanging down her back She wears those seethrough sweaters She likes to wear her stocking black And if I see her tonight You can bet your life I'll attack. She got beautiful teeth A toothpaste adman's dream. She got a beautiful form The best I've ever seen. I' gonna get her tonight I don't care where she been. Well I said baby Baby Baby what you doin' to me. I said baby Baby Baby what you doin' to me. I said baby Baby Baby jump into my dream. I dream that she was Lady Chatterley'n I was the game keeper. I dream that I was Da Vinci and She was the Mona Lisa. I dream that I was Humbert and She was Lolita. I said baby Baby Baby what you doin' to me. I said baby Baby Baby what you doin to me. I said baby Baby Baby jump into my dream.
