  • Somebody told me
    There'd be trouble at home
    'Cause we never talk a lot
    When we spend time alone
    So how are we supposed to know
    Know when something is wrong
    Well, we've got a way to communicate
    It keeps a happy home

    And no one does it like me
    And no one but you
    Has that kind of whip appeal on me

    Keep on whippin' on me
    Work it on me
    Whip all your sweet sweet lovin' on me

    Keep on whippin' on me
    Work it on me
    Whip all your sweet sweet lovin' on me

    When we go to work
    How the day seems so long
    The only thing I think about
    Can't wait 'til we get home
    'Cause we got a way of talking
    And it's better than words
    It's the strangest kind of relationship
    Oh, but, 'cause it always works

    And no one does it like me
    And no one but you
    Has that kind of whip appeal on me

    Whatever you want (whatever you want, babe)
    It's alright with me (it's alright with me)
    'Cause you've got that whip appeal
    So work it on me
    It's better than love
    Sweet as can be
    You've got that whip appeal
    So whip it on me (baby)

    Keep on whippin' on me
    Work it on me
    Whip all your sweet sweet lovin' on me
    Keep on whippin' on me
    Work it on me
    Whip all your sweet sweet lovin' on me

    'Cause no one does it like me
    And no one but you
    Has that kind of whip appeal on me

    Whatever you want
    It's alright with me (alright with me)
    'Cause you've got that whip appeal (you got that whip appeal)
    So work it on me (come on and work it on me)
    It's better than love (better than love)
    Sweet as can be (sweet as can be)
    You've got that whip appeal (oh you got that whip appeal)
    So whip it on me (come and work it, baby)

    Whatever you want (whatever you want babe)
    It's alright with me (it's alright with me)
    'Cause you've got that whip appeal (you got that whip appeal)
    So work it on me (come on and work it on me)
    It's better than love (better than love)
    Sweet as can be (sweet as can be)
    You've got that whip appeal (oh you got that whip appeal)
    So whip it on me (you got, you got, you got)

    Whatever you want
    It's alright with me (just you and me)
    'Cause you've got that whip appeal (you got a good way of talkin')
    So work it on me (that's better than words, babe)
    It's better than love (oh wouldn't give it up for the world)
    Sweet as can be (oh don't take it from me)
    You've got that whip appeal (no way, no way)
    So whip it on me (no way)

    Whatever you want (whatever you want)
    It's alright with me (it's alright with me)
    'Cause you've got that whip appeal (you got that whip appeal)
    So work it on me (come on and work it on me)
    It's better than love (better than love)
    Sweet as can be (sweet as can be)
    You've got that whip appeal (oh you got that whip appeal)
    So whip it on me (you got, you got, you got)

    Keep on whippin' on me
    Work it on me
    Whip all your sweet sweet lovin' on me

    Keep on whippin' on me
    Work it on me
    Whip all your sweet sweet lovin' on me Writer/s: KENNETH BABYFACE EDMONDS, REID PERRI, UNKNOWN COMPOSER AUTHOR
