Really sets me off to a four-alarm, child (yes it does, uh, uh)
The way you squeeze and tease knocks me to my knees
‘Cause you’re smokin’, baby, baby
The way you swerve and curve really wracks my nerves
And I’m so excited, child (yeah) woo, woo
The way you push, push lets me know that you’re ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
(You’re gonna get your wish) Oh, Lord, oh

When you’re hot, you’re hot, you really shoot your shot
You’re dynamite child, yeah
Well, I can tell by your game, you’re gonna start a flame
In my heart, baby, baby
I’m ’bout to choke from the smoke, got to tighten up my stroke
Can you feel it, girl? Yeah
