When I see my baby
What do I see
Poetry, poetry in motion
Poetry in motion walking by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide
Poetry in motion see her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion dancing close to me
A flower of devotion for all the world to see
Oh-awoh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Awoh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Awoh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Awoh
Poetry in motion see her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion all that I adore
No number nine love potion
Could make me love her more
Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Woh-woh-woh-woh-woh
