hurts my head, gets me wild.
Dig that steam, giant butt,
makes me scream, I get nuh-nuh-nothing but the shakes over you
And nothing else could ever do.
You know that you want it.
I know what it is.
You know that you want it, baby,
When the night is through, will I still be loving you?
Dig those moves, vam-pire
set me loose, get it higher.
Throw my rope, loop-de-loop
nice white teeth, Betty Boop.
Set it cool real heavy.
I ain't fooled, gettin' ready.
You know that you want it.
I know what it is.
You know that you want it, baby,
When the night is through, will I still be loving you?

Released during the group's prolific 1978-1984 era, the track exemplifies the fusion of blues-influenced riffs and pop sensibilities that defined their catalog. The song captures the raw, unpolished energy of their early recordings, showcasing a musical style that prioritized live performance intensity over studio perfection. As a staple of their live shows and a frequent inclusion in compilations, it remains a defining piece of the band's legacy, illustrating their ability to craft catchy, danceable rock anthems that bridged the gap between classic rock and emerging new wave sounds.
