  • The girl has got the touch
    What she got is a little something
    That kind of girl
    Maxi Priest just make them know, yeah

    She's the kind of woman who let's you know
    When she knows what she wants she won't let go
    Takes you to a place of your fantasy
    Walks you to the door but she holds a key

    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (gangsta kind of lover)
    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (smooth type of girl)

    No matter who you are or what you do
    She knows how to click in everything you do
    She can make you hot when it's cold outside
    Take you on a high, even make you fly

    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (gangsta kind of lover)
    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl

    she's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
    Just the kind of girl to keep my love life rolling
    She's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
    Just the kind of girl to keep my that, that, that girl
    To make you break your silence and speak
    Just a glimpse upon the silhouette, my knees get weak
    Mh-mmh baby baby so unique
    A reggaemantic lover, lover make her life complete

    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (that kind of lover)
    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (say what)

    She's the kind of woman who knows the street
    And even under pressure she's smooth and sweet
    No complications just attitude
    Believes in what she's got and she won't get used

    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (sexy kind of lover)
    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl

    Well, I'm weak to her touch
    So vulnerable to her blush, love struck
    That girl I got an instant crush
    You can call me a lush, infatuation or just lust
    The girl possess the stuff to make the man them, oh, ah

    Holy Moses, Lord it could have been me
    Caught up in this trap I didn't wanna be (I know)
    But I ain't no fool I was one step ahead (yeah)
    I had to let go cause I was over my head

    That girl, ooh, that kind of girl (gangsta kind of lover)
    That girl ooh that kind of girl
    ('Cause she's a Shaggy kind of girl)
    That girl ooh (I gotta let her know)
    That kind of girl (sexy kind of lover)
    That girl ooh (let them know)
    That kind of girl (Maxi kind of girl)

    Say she's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
    Just the kind of girl to keep my love life flowin'
    She's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
    She's the kind of girl to keep my that, that girl

    That girl ooh, I got to let her know (that kind of girl)
    She's the kind of girl that captivates your soul (that kind of girl)
    That kind of girl (a rude girl type of lover, chuh)
    that girl ooh, that kind of girl

    (Shaggy and Maxi Priest definitely deh pon on di girls dem case)
    that girl ooh (that girl) that kind of girl Writer/s: Al Jackson, Jr., Booker T. Jones, Donald Dunn, Gary Benson, Maxi Elliot, Orville Burrell, Robert Mcdonald Livingston, Steve Cropper
