I can’t deny it;
you’re on my mind
and that’s a guarantee
but you can’t touch
before you say please
I don’t know
what you heard about me
x2

Might seem a little strange
but that’s how I want it
I see I got you tongue-tied
‘cause you’re looking all funny :P
you gotta have some manners
if you wanna roll with me
know how to get down
and you know what I mean
you say they all want you
but you’re not that hyped
come on, calm down
no need to lie now
why you gotta talk about the other
ones you see - it’s like;
look around it’s just you and me ;)

when you talk
you don’t show a lot of class (no class)
it might work with them
but I don’t like it (nuh-uh)
such a pity I thought you were so nice
if you wanna be my type
you better start being polite

I can’t deny it;
you’re on my mind
and that’s a guarantee
but you can’t touch before you say please
I don’t know what u heard about me
x2

I took you on a date in a restaurant
then you’re rude to the waiter
like; what is up?I already told you I don’t like that
there won’t be a next time if you keep this up
you go on and on, and on and on
about how much you have
and how much you’ve grown
well I don’t see how
‘cause it doesn’t show
it seems crazy to me that you don’t know
when you talk you don’t show a lot of class (no class)
it might work with them
but I don’t like it (nuh-uh)

such a pity
I thought you were so nice
if you wanna be my type
you better start being polite

I can’t deny it you’re on my mind
and that’s a guarantee
but you can’t touch before you say please
I don’t know what you heard about me
x2

I can’t deny it I can’t deny it
I see you wanna;
leave with me,
be with me
please me -
then be real with me
better be polite
if you wanna roll with me yeah
leave with me,
be with me please me -
then be real with me
better be polite if you wanna roll with
me yeah
