A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry.
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry.
You tell me that you love me ev'ry day.
When we're alone I really feel in love.
But when we're at a friends house you are changed

You treat me bad
I feel I'm sick in bed.
I want your love
give me your love -
That's how I feel
I want it to be real.
I want your love
give me your love -
I need you just and I - I owe you so much.
A -E-A -E -I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry. . . .
Do you really like something you say

I know you do
it makes me so confused.
I'm sure this is the way that you're to play

Let's get it right
it's much too good to lose.
I want your love
give me your love -
That's how I feel and I want it to be real.
I want your love
give me your love

I need your touch and I - I owe you so much.
A - E - A - E - I - O - U - U - I sometimes cry. . . .
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry. . . .
I need you back
I want you back
give me your love.
I need you back
I want you back
give me your love.
Girl
girl
I know I owe you so much

But can I pay you with just
with just one touch?
And girl
I know you care -
I'll never love another to that
to that I'll swear.

A -E-A -E -I-O -U-U -I sometimes cry. . . .
A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U-I sometimes cry....

Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look
Heavenly bound cos heaven's got a number
When she's spinning me around, kissing is a colour
Her loving is a wild dog, she's got the look

She's got the look (she's got the look)
She's got the look (she's got the look)
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
And I go la la la la la
She's got the look

Fire in the ice, naked to the T-bone
Is a lover's disguise, banging on the head drum
Shaking like a mad bull, she's got the look
Swaying to the band, moving like a hammer
She's a miracle man, loving is the ocean
Kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look

She's got the look (she's got the look)
She's got the look (she's got the look)
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
And I go la la la la la
She's got the look

Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer
She's a juvenile scam, never was a quitter
Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look
And she goes....

Na na na na na......
She's got the look
