  • Oh yeah

    Some boys just got the look of a Greek Adonis
    And some boys just try to talk you off your feet
    Hmm, some boys they're God's gift to woman
    And some boys just think they're sweet enough to eat
    Try to change the habit of a lifetime
    Don't even try
    'Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing
    You'll realize

    What you get is what you see
    Ain't nothing more to it
    And if you wanna love a woman like me
    It takes a man to do it
    If what you get is what you see
    Then I don't want your kind of love

    Some guys just got lips that you can't help kissing
    And some guys ust got a smile you can't resist, mm
    And some guys have gotta build a reputation
    They just wanna add you to their list
    You got a lot of physical attraction
    I can't deny
    But can you guarantee me satisfaction?
    Well, I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, ooh

    What you get is what you see
    Ain't nothing more to it
    And if you wanna love a woman like me
    It takes a man to do it
    If what you get is what you see
    Then I don't want your kind of love, ooh, yeah

    So let me see your cards on the table
    Before I buy
    I always read the writing on the label
    So give me reason to believe
    There's more to you than meets the eye, yeah

    What you get is what you see
    Ain't nothing more to it
    And if you wanna love a woman like me
    It takes a man to do it
    If what you get is what you see
    Then I don't want your kind of love

    Ain't nothing more to it, ooh
    It doesn't matter, doesn't matter, oh, no
    I don't want your kind of love, oh, no
    Ain't nothing else to it, whoa
    No, I don't want your kind of love, ooh
    What you, what you see is what you get Writer/s: Graham Hamilton Lyle, Terry Britten
