Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The night I met you
We were tryin' to define
What "hip" meant
How could I forget you?
You were shakin' all that fine
Equipment
[Verse 2]
Listen, you, it's been a week or two
Still you got me waiting
Anticipating
Little fawn, did you lead me on
Because you really want it
Or just to flaunt it?
[Verse 3]
What you tryin' to do?
You can't shift this thing
From high down into low
It's a shame, just a game
And I'm blamin' you
'Cause now I'm all dressed up
And I got nowhere to go
[Verse 4]
You're so bittersweet
The sign says, "All that you can eat"
But I still ain't seen it
And I've heard it said
That a lady dressed in red
Don't really mean it
[Verse 5]
Listen, you, it's been a week or two
Still, you got me waiting
Anticipating
Little fawn, did you lead me on
Because you really want it
Or just to flaunt it?
[Verse 6]
What you tryin' to do?
You can't shift this thing
From high down into low
It's a shame, just a game
And I'm blamin' you
'Cause now I'm all dressed up
And I got nowhere to go
[Verse 7]
What you tryin' to do?
You can't shift this thing
From high down into low
It's a shame, just a game
And I'm blamin' you
'Cause now I'm all dressed up
And I got nowhere to go
[Verse 8]
What you tryin' to do?
You can't shift this thing
From high down into low
It's a shame, just a game
And I'm blamin' you
'Cause now I'm all dressed up
And I got nowhere to go
[Verse 9]
What you tryin' to do?
You can't shift this thing
From high down into low
It's a shame, just a game
And I'm blamin' you
'Cause now I'm all dressed up
And I got nowhere to go
