Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hush
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Before you say another word now
Tell me
[Verse 2]
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know now
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
I wanna know, yes I wanna know now
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I wanna know, said I wanna know now
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
[Verse 3]
Not with that big broad smile
And that sexy dress you wear
It's totally impossible
For a man with eyes not to stare
There is no reason to be so uptight
Now when you got everything alright
By now you should know you're every man's fantasy
[Verse 4]
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know now
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
I wanna know, yes I wanna know now
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
Absolutely nothing at all
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
[Verse 5]
Girl, check out your style
Brother's going wild
It's hard to keep control
When your right there on that throne
So little girl, don't cramp my style
Wave your hand, give me a smile
'Cause after all I'm one of your fans, yeah
[Verse 6]
Oh nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-no lie
Oh nah-nah-nah, nah-ah-yeah
[Verse 7]
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know now
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
And I wanna know, said, I wanna know, know, oh
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
[Verse 8]
Not with that big broad smile
And that sexy dress you wear
It's totally impossible
For a man with eyes not to stare
There is no reason to be so uptight
Now when you got everything alright
[Verse 9]
You should know by now you're every man's fantasy, yeah
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know, yes, I wanna know, now
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
Absolutely nothing at all, nah-nah ,nah-ah
[Verse 10]
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I said I wanna know, yes, I wanna know, know, oh
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
I wanna know, I wanna know now
What can you do to stop a man from trying?
I wanna know now
[Verse 11]
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
It's totally impossible
What can you do to stop a man from trying? (Ooh, yeah)
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
I said I wanna know, yes, I wanna know, know, oh
Ooh now, oh-no-no
What can you do to stop a man from trying? Yes I wanna know
Nothing you can do to stop a man from trying
Ooh, yeah I wanna know, woo
What can you do to stop a man from trying? Yes I wanna know
