Like this I've never seen a woman baby That looks quite the way you do The way you shake that thing now honey, Can't take my eyes off you The way you work it honey It brings me to my knees You give me what I'm looking for, I'll give you what you need And I said [Chorus] I got the one thing you want, Get it all night long You got the one thing I need, When your body talks I hear it talking to me Say, get it all night long Woman why can't you see You're my one thing I got a world of trouble, baby It's going on inside my head Playing your game, got me half insane Trying to make sense of every word you said Stop beating around the bush You're just wasting time Let's get down to the business honey And lay it one the line And I said [Chorus] Tell me the news, Let's hear your story You think you got nothing to lose You better use it up Before it gets old, baby And becomes yesterday's news [Chorus]
