[Verse 1]
If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some, want some
[Verse 2]
I set my sights on you

You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
[Chorus]
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
[Bridge]
I want your love
I want your love
[Refrain]
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
[Chorus]
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round (You spin me like a record)
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round (I want your love)
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round (You spin me like a record)
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round (I want your love)
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round (I need your love)
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round (I need your love)
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
