Lyrics

[Intro]
You know you, you make me feel so good inside
I always wanted a girl just like you
Such a P.Y.T.
Pretty young thing (Ooh)
[Verse 1]
Where did you come from lady?
And, ooh, won't you take me there
Right away, won't you baby?
Tenderoni, you've got to be
Spark my nature, sugar, fly with me
[PreChorus]
Don't you know now
Is the perfect time
We can make it right, hit the city lights
Then tonight
Ease the lovin' pain
Let me take you to the max
[Chorus]
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there, girl (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there (Anywhere you want to go)
Yes, I will (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
Nothing can stop this burnin'
Desire to be with you
Gotta get to you baby
Won't you come, it's emergency
Cool my fire yearnin'
Honey, come set me free
[PreChorus]
Don't you know now
Is the perfect time
We can dim the lights
Just to make it right
In the night
Hit the lovin' spot
I'll give you all that I've got
[Chorus]
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there, yes, I will, yes, I will
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there
Yes, I will (Hee-eh)
[Bridge]
Pretty young thing (Uh!)
You make me sing, (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
Pretty young thing (Uh!)
You make me sing (Ha, ha, ha)
Pretty young things, repeat after me
Sing, "Na-na-na"
Na-na-na
"Na-na-na-na"
Na-na-na-na
Sing, "Na-na-na"
Na-na-na
"Na-na-na-na-na"
Na-na-na-na-na
I will take you there, take you there
[Chorus]
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there, take you there, take you there
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there, take you there (Hoo-ooh-oh)
[Outro]
Hoo-ooh!
(I want to love you, you P.Y.T.) P.Y.T.
Oh, baby
(I want to give you that T.L.C.) T.L.C.
Oh, baby
Oh darling (Ooh)
(I want to love you, you P.Y.T.) P.Y.T.
(I want to give you that T.L.C.) T.L.C.
You're such a P.Y.T. to me, pretty young thing
Oh baby, oh baby, oh, darling
(I want to love you, you P.Y.T.) P.Y.T.
Oh, baby
(I want to give you that T.L.C.) T.L.C.
You can be (Ooh)
