I got a little bit of hope
Like a soap on a rope 
Sweeter than sour 
Gettin' thinner by the hour 
Fallin' fast and I'm runnin' out of gas 
Noggin' on your sister smart as Bobby Fisher 
Still I couldn't get arrested 
Though I got more hooks 
Than Madonna got looks 
Just like that AC/DC song, 
C'mon baby, shake me all night long

All I want to do 
Is get up early in the morning 
(Oh I love you baby) 
And all I gotta say to you 
Is your love's extra ordinary 
You're extra ordinary baby 

Somebody pushed me through the door 
I've been sleepin' on the floor 
Thirty one flavors listen to 
The neighbors through the wall 
And a deputant ball 
Use a lot on Visa got a Mona Lisa 
So much for the late brand 
'Cause your money's spent 
And it's cold inside 
Just like that Barenaked Ladies song 
I'm hot like a wasabe when I'm next to your body

All I want to do 
Is get up early in the morning 
(Oh I love you baby) 
And all I gotta say to you 
Is your love's extra ordinary 
You're extra ordinary baby 

(Your love's such a sweet thing 
Your love's such a sweet thing) 

All I want to do 
Is get up early in the morning 
(Oh I love you baby) 
And all I gotta say to you 
Is your love's extra ordinary 
You're extra ordinary baby 

All I want to do 
Is get up early in the morning 
(Oh I love you baby) 
And all I gotta say to you 
Is your love's extra ordinary 
You're extra ordinary
