(be your number one)
(be your number one)
(number one...number one...number one
You walk around everyday
You're the talk of the town
With your pretty face
I see you strut back and forth
When i see you around
It's me you ignore
Bridge:
I want to just talk to you --- so don't you
Act surprised
I know you're watchin' me, too --- i see it
In your eyes
It's just the way that i feel --- ooh i can't wait
You've got me spinning around --- make no mistake
Chorus:
You've got me running in the "out" door
Baby, can i be your number one
(be your number one...be your number one)
You've got me running inside out, ooh
Baby, can i be your number one
(be your number one...be your number one)
I'll get you boy --- give it time
And you better believe
You're gonna be mine
It won't take long --- with my ways
I won't do you no wrong
'cause your my ba-by
Bridge:
I know you're watching me too --- so
Don't act surprised
It's just the way that i feel --- i see it in
Your eyes
I just want to talk to you --- ooh, i can't wait
You've got me spinnin' around --- make no mistake
Repeat chorus (2 times)
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus and fade
