You're so gorgeous I'll do anything!

I'll kiss you from your feet

To where your head begins!

You're so perfect!

You're so right as rain!

You make me

Make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible

Everything you do is simply kissable

Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles

'Til I run out of breath

I'll eat you all up

Or I'll just hug you to death

You're so wonderful!

Too good to be true!

You make me

Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate

Everything you do is quite angelicate

Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around

You turn the whole world upside down

I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked

I'm stuck like glue!

You make me

Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy

Everything you do is quite delicious

Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant!
