I know I was lookin' good, I had my Kenneth Cole shoes on My Gianni Versace blue leather suit My nails were done and my hair was fierce And I was riding in a Cooper's limousine, don't you want to ride? I was at home feelin' sleazy So I went down to the speak easy As soon as my feet hit the door I had all attention from the dance floor Don't you know the men all pause? When I walked into the room the men all pause The men all pause when I walked into the room The men all pause and the brides held their grooms And they all sang the same old tune Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa check me out Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Starin' faces startin' to get tired I wanted to get out and go for a ride Maybe this boredom created my hunger So I said, "Pull over at the local fat burger" I tried to walk in shy, very unnoticed But the men turned away from their burgers and sodas The focus was on me, I guess admirin' good taste I tried to play it off but assurance was all over my face The men all pause When I walked into the room The men all pause the men all pause And the brides held their grooms the men all pause And they all sang the same old tune Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa check me out Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa The men all pause when I hit the door Attention came from the dance floor When I went to the burger stand I had my claim on any man Slap me, no, somebody slap me 'Cause I know I'm lookin' good I'm givin' attitude all over the room People are starin' at me And I just look too good for these people Don't you know the men all pause? Yeah, just look at them (Woof) The dog is coming out of them A natural dog Radar (Woof) Radar, kitty girl I think I'm gonna leave right now Because I have some things to do Call my chauffeur I love you, I love you all but I got to go Oh, turn me on The men all pause the men all pause The men all pause the men all pause Don't you know the men all pause? When I walked into the room the men all pause The men all pause when I walked into the room The men all pause and the brides held their grooms And they all sang the same old tune Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa check me out Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
