Hard time getting to ya babe, Double take, figure real rough trade, But you know I'm a real good lover, Can't judge a book by its cover, I know and you know I know, Can't trust your intuition no more Look good and I make you smile, Bet you thought I wouldn't have no style, I'm gonna turn your head around, Won't know 'til you hit the ground, Gonna change the way you feel, I'm gonna roll you like a wheel High life, I'm a fool for you, Low life, I like to break the rules, First bite, you know I got a taste for you, I'm gonna make you shine Be a switch to say the least, My beauty gonna meet your beast, Comin' over and shake your tree, My body's gonna set you free, I know and you know it's true, Move over I'm coming through It's all over and I got you down, Gonna chase you round and round, Mess around with the way I feel, Gonna offer you a whole new deal, Gonna lay it on ya just for kicks, Down on ya like a ton of bricks
