Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's got a date for lunch in Singapore
Holds stock in IBM and hates Dior
But she puts her make-up on at 6:00 a.m
She goes to work, gets home, then puts it on again
[PreChorus]
And it's a mystery how wild that girl can be
She's got so much energy
She's such an expert at surprising me
[Chorus]
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She's so attracted to a wild romance
And I'm persuaded by her argument
She's hyperactive
[Chorus]
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And I'm persuaded by her argument
She's hyperactive
[Verse 2]
The other dancers hyperventilate and start to sweat
One look at her, I know the night's not over yet
She says, "Where are we going now?" Her voice is sweet and soft
I think she lost the key that turns her motor off
[PreChorus]
And it's a mystery how wild that girl can be
She's got so much energy
She's such an expert at surprising me
[Chorus]
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And I'm persuaded by her argument
She's hyperactive
[Chorus]
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She's so attracted to a wild romance
She's more effective than a stimulant
She's hyperactive, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[PreChorus]
And it's a mystery how wild that girl can be
She's got so much energy
She's such an expert at surprising me
[Chorus]
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
Never missed a beat or missed a chance, yeah
And I'm persuaded by her argument
She's hyperactive
[Chorus]
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She's so attracted to a wild romance
And more effective than a stimulant
She's hyperactive
[Chorus]
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a step or missed a chance
She's more effective than a stimulant
She's hyperactive
[Chorus]
She's hyperactive when she starts to dance
She never missed a beat or missed a chance
And I'm persuaded by her argument
She's hyperactive
