Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide
Anything
I saw you breathing, oh
And I saw you staring out in space
[Verse 2]
I next saw you
You was at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh, so flirty
I came against
[Verse 3]
Didn't say "Excuse"
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
As we were leaving
Ooh
[Verse 4]
Like Saint Joan
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you
Like a kanga roo
Ooh
