My oh my, you're so good looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all you're cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking

Do you pour a little something on the rocks?
Slide down the hallway in your socks
When you undress, do you leave a path?
Then sing through your nose in a bubble bath

My oh my, you're so good looking
Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I've not tasted all you're cooking
Who are you when I'm not looking

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

Do you break things when you get mad?
Eat a box of chocolate 'cause you're feeling bad
Do you paint your toes 'cause you bite your nails?
And call up mama when all else fails

Who are you when I'm not around?
When the door is locked then the shades are down
Do you listen to your music quietly?
And when it feels just right or you're thinking of me

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

My oh my, you're so good looking
But who are you when I'm not looking
