[Verse 1]
Why don't you get up?
A-get up next to me
Why don't you get up
A-get up next to me?
Well, you get up close enough to me, baby
You won't like what you see
[Verse 2]
Why don't you hang around
A-hang around around me
Why don't you hang out, baby
Well, hang out with me
Well, sooner or later you'll get sick of me, baby
Sick of me, I guarantee
[Verse 3]
I fill up with gas
Lights might glow
Wind me up, but I'll never never go
No, no, no, no, no, I won't go
I only got one gear and that's reverse, baby
I'm in the fast lane moving slow
All right
Hey!
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah
Whoo!
Yep
Yeah
[Verse 4]
You can break me, you can shake me
But you won't change me, that I know
You can break it, break it, break it, shake it
But you won't change me, that I know
I'm only one bad apple, I spoiled a whole bunch
I'm rotten to the core
Ah, play that thing, boy! Whoa!
[Piano Solo]
Yeah!
Whoo-hoo!
Baby
Uh-huh
Whoo! Yeah!
Hahahaha!
Whoo! Yeah!
Ah, here I go!
[Guitar Solo]
(Whoo!)
Whoo
[Verse 5]
Well, you keep on looking, baby
You ain't gonna find what you're looking for
Keep on looking, looking, looking, looking
You ain't gonna find what you're looking for
Some kinda perfect man that you can worship, baby, well
He ain't on this earth anymore
One time
[Verse 6]
Aw, give it up
Forget it, babe, it won't work
Aw, give it up, give it up
Forget it, baby, it won't work
You're looking for a perfect boy or girl? Well
Forget it baby, we're all jerks
Whoo!
[Spoken Outro]
Whoo! Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah, that was it! Perfect!
