Was playing 'i wanna sex you up' out of their volvo, and

That's when I met her: debra.....)

I met you at j.c. penney

I think your nametag it said jenny

I cold step to you

With a fresh pack of gum

Somehow I knew

That you were lookin for some

Like a fruit that's ripe for the pickin

I wanna do ya like that zankou chicken

'cause you got a thing

That I'm tryin to get with

That I'm tryin to get with

Only you..



I wanna get with you

Only you

And your sister, debra [x2]



I picked you up late at night after work

Baby, step into my hyundai

I said gonna take you out to glendale

Mmmmmm gonna take you out

For a real good meal

Our eyes did meet, you know I was packin in

Ain't no time wastin no time

Gettin to know, know each other

'cause you got a thing that I'm tryin to get with

That I'm tryin to get with

Only you



I wanna get with you

Only you

And your sister, debra [x2]



[spoken]

Girl, I only wanna play with you

I only wanna get with you

And your sister....debra

Debra? --i think that was her name



I wanna get with you

I'm gonna take you up to glendale

I'm gonna take you,

Take you for a real good meal

And when our eyes did meet

You knew I was packin heat

'cause there ain't no use in wastin no time

Gettin to know each other



I wanna get with you

Only you

And your sister, debra [x2]



(girl, I wanna hose you off)



...nobody has to know

We'll keep it on the down-low

No use in wastin no time

Tryin to get to know each other

Ow ow ow ow, etc.
