Lyrics
When he walked by today
I saw you flash a smile
You had that look of love
You seem to dig his style
He looked to me just like some cat from outer space
Skin tight suit, hornet-toe shoes
His hair was flying all over the place
My lady bug stay away from that beetle
How could your heart be so fettle?
Lady bug he's not your kind
He's so wild your soul will find
Can't you see that it's you I love
Stay away from that beetle bug
Oh yeah!
Beetle bug
Can't you see that it's you I love
Stay away from that beetle bug
Oh yeah!
Beetle bug
What power does he hold
That makes your heart beat faster?
You know this craze could be
A national disaster!
You know that I’d do almost anything for you
But if you want me to look like that, well
Lady bug, you and I are through!
My lady bug stay away from that beetle
How could your heart be so fettle?
Lady bug keep away from his arms
Don't be taken away by his charms
Can't you see that it's you I love
Stay away from that beetle bug
Oh yeah!
Beetle bug
Can't you see that it's you I love
Stay away from that beetle bug
Oh yeah!
Beetle bug
Oh yeah!
Beetle bug
