(One, two, three, four!)
[Verse 1]
I've seen you darling, seen you hanging round town
You in a short skirt, shining eyes a deep brown
You had a dirty look, you caught me on your hook
Turn up the thermostat, I want to see you sweat
[Bridge]
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like
[Verse 2]
I walked right over, said "Hi, how ya doin'?"
You smiled at me and girl you tore right through me
I said "Come on let's dance, we've gotta take our chance"
You whispered in my ear, you wanna get out of here
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel it? Rocking the city
Ah yeah, straight out of nowhere-ness
Like a fist, can't resist you, oh no
I tell you something
[Chorus]
You know I love ya, just wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
Woo!
Ah-ahh!
[Verse 3]
Let's spend the night, spend the night together
Heart beating so fast, as you take my shirt off
This girl I saw round town, well now she's going down
Stuck on a losing streak, I think you've turned it round
[Bridge]
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like
[Verse 4]
Read all about it, have you heard the latest?
Boy in a band dates Hollywood actress
But baby, you and me, we came up from the street
No time to hesitate, we gotta punch our weight
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel it? Rocking the city
Ah yeah, straight out of nowhereness
Like a fist, can't resist you, oh no
I tell you something
[Chorus]
You know I love ya, just wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
[Verse 5]
Goodness
No, I've never known a night like this
Can't believe it, you're so hard to beat
Hard to beat
Drive me crazy, my beautiful baby
Let's spend the whole day right here together
[Chorus]
You know I love ya, just wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
[Outro]
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like
Oh, sitting at home, sitting on the bus
All I ever do is think about us
On and on, I said
Yeeeeeeah
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like
