I got chills
They're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying!
You better shape up
'Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left
Nothing left for me to do
You're the one that I want
Oh, oh, oh honey
The one that I want
Oh, oh, oh honey
The one that I want
Oh, oh, oh, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed
If you're filled
With affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate
My direction
Feel your way
Feel your way
You better shape up
'Cause I need a man
Who can keep me satisfied
You better shape up
If you're gonna prove
That my faith is justified
Are you sure
Yes I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want
Oh, oh, oh honey
You're the one that I want
Oh, oh, oh honey
You're the one that I want
Oh, oh, oh honey, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed
You're the one that I want
Oh, oh, oh honey
You're the one that I want
Oh, oh, oh honey
You're the one that I want
Oh, oh, oh honey, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed
You're the one that I want
You're the one that I want
The one I need
Oh, yes indeed
