[Verse 1]
Another Friday night
Another tired line
Baby, you sure look good
Hey baby, what's your sign?
How many ask for your number
Before they even know your name?
How many out there tired of playing
This silly old time game?
[Chorus]
Hey, and when the lights go down
And it's just you two
That's when you and your lover, yeah
Do what they're supposed to
That's when you feel the heat
Hotter than July
That's when you and your baby, baby, baby
When your baby get it right
That's when your baby get it right
[Verse 2]
How can you tell him no
When he loves you so?
He'll buy you anything
Anything you want
His eyes all aglow
He'll know you're good to go
Dinner, dinner, dinner in the finest restaurant, yeah
Girl, you'd better know
Reel him in until he do it a couple times in a row
It's just the same, it's just a game
Go back to do whatever, he'll sleep outside your door
[Chorus]
When the lights go down, yeah
And it's just you two
That's when you hear the sounds
Of what true lovers do, yeah
And when you feel the heat, oh
Hotter than July
That's when you and your baby
When your baby get it right
When your baby get it right
[Outro]
That's when your baby get it right
That's when your baby plays with it right
Baby, get it right
