Well you know just what you do to me The way you move soft and slippery Cut the night just like a razor Rarely talk and that's the danger It's the one thing You are my thing You know your voice is a love song It's a cat call from the past There's no ice in your lovers walk You don't look twice 'cause you move so fast It's the one thing You are my thing You've got a dozen men behind you You've got dead flowers on the floor You're too pretty in the daylight It keeps them coming back for more It's the one thing You are my thing It's the one thing You are my thing It's the one thing You are my thing
