Don't hide from me baby
Shame on you
Incognito honey you're so crude
I don't mind
Take my hand
Baby I wanna be your mystery man
Yeah you got ruby lipstick
Rose petal rouge
And dime store jewelry
Cheap perfume
I don't mind, take my hand
Honey I wanna be your mystery man
You know I do, you know I do
Oh you know I do, you know I do
Yeah you know I do, you know I do
Baby you know I do, you know I do
Don't hide from me baby
Shame on you
Dime store jewelry honey you're so crude
I don't mind
Take my hand
Baby I wanna be your mystery man
You know I do, you know I do
Oh you know I do, you know I do
Yeah you know I do, you know I do
Baby you know I do, you know I do
