[DEENA]
(spoken)
Hello, everybody. Well, I bought out Europe. This dress? Paris. These shoes? Rome. And I found this perfume in London, it's called "Devastation." Well, my dancers seemed to love it. Now, I loved Paris, I loved London, and I loved Rome, but I always know when I've been away too long when I start missing the men at home.
(sung)
I'm your dreamgirl
Boys, I'm back! Are you happy?
I'm your dreamgirl
Boys, show me how you care
I'm your dreamgirl
And boys, how I've hated to leave you
So if you wanna keep me all you gotta do is
Hold me
Touch me
Squeeze me
Please me
Love me
Caress me
Dress me
Undress me
And baby baby baby, I'll always be there
