  • Here we are folks
    The dream we all dream of
    Boy versus girl in the World Series of love
    Tell me, have you got the look?

    You walked in, I woke up
    I've never seen a pretty girl
    Look so tough, baby
    You got that look

    Color you peach and black
    Color me takin' aback
    Crucial, I think I want ya

    You've got the look (You've got the hook)
    You sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
    Your face is jammin'
    Your body's heck-a-slammin'
    If love is good
    Let's get to rammin'

    You got the look
    You got the look

    Look here
    You got the look (you got the look)
    You must'a took (you must'a took)
    A whole hour just to make up your face, baby
    Closin' time, ugly lights, everybody's inspected (Everybody's inspected)
    But you are a natural beauty unaffected (Unaffected)
    Did I say an hour?
    My face is red, I stand corrected (I stand corrected)

    You've got the look
    You've got the hook
    You sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
    Your face is jammin'
    Your body's heck-a-slammin'
    If love is good
    Let's get to rammin'

    You got the look
    You got the look
    (There's no girl to do)
    Well here we are, ladies and gentlemen, the dream we all dream of
    (Oh, please!) Boy versus girl in the World Series of love slammin'

    You've got the look
    You've got the hook
    You sho'nuf do be cookin' in my book
    Your face is jammin'
    Your body's heck-a-slammin'
    If love is good
    Let's get to rammin'

    You got the look
    You got the look

    Closing time ugly lights, everybody's expected
    You walked in
    I walked in
    I woke up
    You woke up
    I never seen such a pretty girl look so tough
    Baby
    You've got that look
    I color you peach and black
    Color me takin' aback
    Baby
    Crucial I think I want ya

    You've got the look
    You've got me hooked
    Sho-nuff do be cooking
    In my book
    Your face is jammin'
    Your body's hecck-a-slammin
    If love is good
    Lets get to rammin'
    You've got the look

    Well here we are folks
