LYRICS

Whee!
Shoot the pop!
Funky pops!
Coffee, tea or me, baby? Touché olé;
My opening line might be a bit passé, yes...
But don't think that I don't know what I'm feeling for you,
'Cause I got a vibe on you the first time that I saw you, saw you!
I need your love, and I won't bring no pain game;
A little birdie told me that you feel the same, game...
I'm for the real, and for you all, true blue;
Let's make a deal, sugar, all I want to do is
Be your one and only lover...

I just want to be your lovergirl;
I just want to rock your world...
Hey-yay-ay, hey, hey-yay-yay, hey!

Hook, line, and sinker, baby - that's how you caught me;
My second verse might be a bit old hat, but,
Don't think that I don't know what it's doing to me
'Cause I got a vibe on you the first time you saw through me, through me!
I need your love, and I won't bring no pain game;
A little birdie told me that you feel the same, game...
I'm for the real, and for you, I'm true blue;
Let's make a deal, sugar - all I want to do is
Be your one and only lover....

I just want to be your lovergirl;
I just want to rock your world...
Hey-yay-ay, hey, hey-yay-yay, hey!

I just want to be your lovergirl;
I just want to rock your world...
Hey-yay-ay, hey, hey!

Baby, let me groove you, let me groove into your love...
(I just want to be your lovergirl...)

Let me prove it to you, baby, let me rock your world...
(I just want to rock your world...)

Baby, let me soothe you, let me smooth into your love...
(I just want to be your lovergirl...)

Let me prove it to you, baby, let me rock your world...
(I just want to rock your world...)

Coffee, tea or me, baby, touché olé,
My opening line might be a bit passé,
But don't think that I don't know what I'm feeling for you,
'Cause I got a vibe the first time that I saw you, whoa...

When the push comes to shove, when you need a little love,
Let me put some rock into your world...
Call me up, don't be shy, for my love will make you high...
I just want to be your lovergirl...
