I know what you're thinking baby I used to be just like you You move when she's not looking baby One sugar ain't enough for you You, you're taking out your loans You're burying your bones Before your cover's blown You better take it home I like the way you look I know you like me But one and one and one Baby makes three Stop playing those eyes If you want me to keep Your little secret Tell it softly to me baby You never meant no one no harm Your wonderland's a mirror baby It's swiftly fading like your charm You, you're stepping out of line You're spilling all the wine Leave it on the vine I can't give you mine I like the way you look I know you like me But one and one and one Baby makes three Stop playing those eyes If you want me to keep Your little secret I could I won't I can't I don't You make it hard Talk down my guard My senses soaked My ego's choked I will not lie Will not lie
