The lady smiled at me when she asked about the possibility That we might spend some time alone And oh the thoughts that filled my head When she looked in my eyes and slowly said Do ya want to get funky with me, do ya wanna...oh! The idle mind is a playground for the devil Do ya want to get funky with me, do ya want to? Do ya want to get funky The way she spoke to me told me I had the opportunity To see how funky she could be And when I looked into her eyes The fire they held made me realize Her flame was burning just for me The lady tempted me I closed my eyes, it was plain to see She was the devil in disguise And oh the message she'd relay When she would take my hand and say Do ya want to get funky with me, do ya want to? The idle mind is a playground for the devil Do ya want to get funky with me, do ya want to? I want to set ya on fire 'Cause it's hot 'Cause it's hot It's so hot I'm burning up It's so hot I'm burning up Oh no no no I felt the heat within, the lust of love and the urge to sin I felt her reachin' for my soul And then I knew I had no choice But to heed the command of the devil's voice Do ya want to get funky with me, do ya want to, do ya want to, do ya want to? The idle mind is a playground for the devil Do ya want to get funky with me, do ya want to get funky Do ya want to get funky with me, do ya want to? The idle mind is a playground for the devil Ah, do ya want to get funky with me, do ya want to? Do ya want to get funky with me?
