For whatever reason
I feel like I've been wanting you all my life
You don't understand
I'm so glad we're at the same place at the same time
And it's over now
I spotted you dancing
You made all the girls stare
Those lips and your brown eyes (Ooh) and sexy hair
I shake, shake my thing and make the world want you
Tell your boys you'll be back
I wanna see what you can do
What would it take for you to just leave with me?
Not trying to sound conceited
But me and you are meant to be
You're sexy guy, I'm a nice girl
Let's turn this dance floor
Into our own little nasty world
Chorus:
(Boys) Sometimes a girl just needs one (Oh I need you)
(Boys) To love her and to hold (I just want you to touch me)
(Boys) And when a girl is with one (Hmm hmm)
(Boys) Then she's in control
Get the boy off the dance floor
Screaming in his ear
Must have said something about me (What'd you say?)
Cause he's looking over here
You looking at me, with that sexy attitude?
But the way your boy's moving it (Uh)
It puts me in the mood (Oh)
What would it take for you to just leave with me?
Not trying to sound conceited,
But me and you are meant to be
You're sexy guy, I'm a nice girl
Let's turn this dance floor,
Into our own little nasty world
(Gril's) Sometimes a girl just needs one (Oh I need you)
(Gril's) To love her and to hold (I just want you to touch me)
(Gril's) And when a girl is with one (Hmm hmm)
(Gril's) Then she's in control
Tonight, let's fly, boy have no fear (Have no fear)
theres no time to lose (Everybodies ready)
And next week
You may not see me here (Uh uh)
So boy just make your move (Let me see what you can do)
(Boys) Sometimes a girl just needs one (Oh I need you)
(Boys) To love her and to hold (I just want you to touch me)
(Boys) And when a girl is with one (hmm hmm)
(Boys) Then she's in control
Oh come with me
Let's fly into the night
Boy, tonight is ours
Keep loving me
Make sure you hold me tight
Let's head for the stars (Get nasty)
(Boys) Sometimes a girl just needs one (Oh I need you)
(Boys) To love her and to hold (I just want you to touch me)
(Boys) And when a girl is with one (hmm hmm)
(Boys) Then she's in control
Can't live with''em, can't live with out 'em!
