• Yeah and she's my kinda crazy
  The little games she plays
  Lord they'll never get old
  She's too cute to get on my last nerve
  The way she throws her little fits
  Pokin' out her lip and bitin' mine when we kiss
  There ain't a fight that she can't win
  That's my baby
  And she's my kinda crazy

• I could kiss you in the rain forever
  Turn all your pain to pleasure
  Fill up all your days with sunlight
  Make the passion last every night
  Give you my every possesion
  Make you my only obsession
  Climb up to the sky and pull down all the stars above
  But I could never love you enough

What it was really: 'Why did you show us your thighs?'
