Oahahohhhhhhhh
Happy birthday baby
Baby, baby, baby

For sure
And baby every time I have a ball
With you
So I made reservations for, this special day
Baby
Baby bring your baby oil, and your lingerie
C'mon
We got a five star room, the luxury suite
With marble floors, and don't thank me
Cause I did -- I did this for your birthday
All for you, all for you
With a king size bed, the Cognac bar
The sweet TV with the VCR
And I did it -- I did this for your birthday
Yeahahahah, yeah yeah yeah
Whoahowhoa, ahh yeah
I felt like I could break a couple of rooms, for you
That's how I brought myself to buy this expensive room
Let's do it in the jacuzzi
On the balcony, baby, whoahhahhh

Cause the bill's on me
We got a five star room, the luxury suite
With marble floors, and don't thank me
Cause I did -- I did this for your birthday
Whoo! Do not, do not, do not.. did not do it baby!
With a king size bed, the Cognac bar
The sweet TV with the VCR
And I did it -- I did this for your birthday
I'm what you want, I'm what you need
Let's get on the floor - let's get on the floor
Let's get in the chair - in the chair
On the sink - on the sink
In the bed - in the bed
Back on the rug - back on the rug
In the tub - in the tub

Anywhere - anywhere
Let's get on the floor - let's get on the floor

On the sink - on the sink
In the bed - in the bed
Back on the rug - back on the rug
Or in the tub - or in the tub
