I like messin'round

I wanna mess around with you

Your love's so profound

Let's break some taboo

I want you in sensurround

Let me see you hoochie-coo

'Cos I like messin'round

I like mess around with you

I like the hanky-panky

I like the boogaloo

But what I like to do the best

Is messin'round with you

I wanna mess around

I wanna mess around with you

You're so superfine

I wanna fool around with you

I don't object to nothin'

Whatever you suggest

But before you say "I do"

I have one request

Hold me, squeeze me

You drive me crazy with your teasin'

Love that feeling

Baby peel me off the ceiling

Take me higher

'Til you set my soul on fire now

I wanna mess around

I wanna mess around with you

Turn me upside down

Let me fool around with you

Ooh let's mess around

Let's get into something new

Better cannot be found

I like messin'round with you

I like to do the mambo

I like to tango too

But what I like to do the most is

Rock n'roll with you

I wanna

Hold you, squeeze you

Come here sugar let me tease you

Feel that feeling

Just like dancing on the ceiling

Take you higher

'Til I set your soul on fire now

I like messin'round

I wanna mess around with you

Your love's so profound

Let's break some taboo

I wanna mess around

Let me see you hoochie-coo

You're so superfine

I wanna mess around with you

Turn me upside down

Let me taste the proof

Baby let's fool around

I wanna mess around with you

I like messin' round

I like mess around with you

I wanna mess around (very quiet)
