[Spoken Intro: Prince]
Here we are, folks
The dream we all dream of
Boy versus girl in the world series of love
Tell me, have you got the look?
[Verse 1: Prince]
You walked in, I woke up
I’ve never seen a pretty girl
Look so tough, baby
You got that look, ah
Color you peach and black
Color me taken aback
Crucial, I think I want you
[Chorus: Sheena Easton and Prince]
You've got the look, you've got the hook
You sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
Your face is jammin'
Your body's heck-a-slammin'
If love is good, let's get to rammin'
You got the look, you got the look
[Ad lib: Prince]
Look here
[Verse 2: Prince]
You got the look
You got the look
You must've took
You must've took
A whole hour just to make up your face, baby
Closin' time, ugly lights, everybody's inspected
Everybody's inspected
But you are a natural beauty unaffected
Unaffected
Did I say an hour?
My face is red, I stand corrected
I stand corrected
[Chorus: Sheena Easton and Prince]
You've got the look, you've got the hook
You sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
Your face is jammin'
Your body's heck-a-slammin'
If love is good, let's get to rammin'
You got the look, you got the look
[Spoken Interlude: Prince with Sheena Easton]
There's no girl to do
Well, here we are
Ladies and gentlemen
The dream we all dream of
Oh, please!
Boy versus girl in the world series of love
Slammin'!
[Verse 3: Prince and Sheena Easton]
You walked in
I walked in
I woke up
You woke up
I never seen such a pretty girl look so tough, baby
Baby
You got that look
Yes, you do, yes, you do
Color you peach and black
Color me taken aback
Baby
Crucial, I think I want you
[Chorus: Sheena Easton and Prince]
You've got the look, you've got the hook
You sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
Your face is jammin'
Your body's heck-a-slammin'
If your love is good, let's get to rammin' now
You got the look, you got the look
[Outro: Prince with Sheena Easton]
Here we are, folks!
The dream we all dream of!
You got the look
You got the look
You got the look
You got the look
You got the look
