(My sexy love)
(So sexy)

She makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
Just one touch and I erupt
Like a volcano, and cover her with my love
Baby girl, you make me say (ooo, ooo, ooo)
And just can't think
(Of anything else I rather do)
Than to hear you sing
(Sing my name the way you do)
Oh, when we do our thing
(When we do the things we do)
Mmm, baby girl, you make me say (ooo, ooo, ooo)

Sexy love
Girl, the things you do (oh, baby, baby)
Keep me sprung
Keep me running back to you (oh baby, I...)
Oh, I love
Making love to you
(Baby girl, you know you're my...)
Sexy love

I'm so addicted to her
She's the sweetest drug
Just enough, still too much
Say that I'm slippin'
I'm sprung on all the above
I can't help she makes me say (ooo, ooo, ooo)
And just can't think
(Of anything else I rather do)
Than to hear you sing
(Sing my name the way you do)
Baby, when we do our thing
(When we do the things we do)
Oh, baby girl, you make me say (ooo, ooo, ooo)
(My sexy love)

Sexy love
Girl, the things you do (oh, baby, baby)
Keep me sprung (oh, oh)
Keep me running back to you (oh baby, I...)
Oh, I love (oh, oh)
Making love to you (see, baby girl, you know you're my...)
Sexy love

Oh, baby, what we doin' makes the sun come up
Keep on lovin' till it goes back down
And I don't know what I'd do if I would lose your touch
That's why I'm always keepin' you around
My sexy love

Sexy love
Girl, the things you do (oh, baby, baby)
Keep me sprung
Keep me running back to you (keep me running back to you)
Oh, I love (I love...)
Making love to you (see, baby girl, you know you're my...)
Sexy love

Sexy love
Girl, the things you do (oh, baby, baby)
Keep me sprung (oh, oh)
Keep me running back to you (running back to you)
Oh, I love
Making love to you (you)
(Baby girl, know you're my...)
Sexy love
(My sexy love)

She makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
Just one touch
