  • The thing I like about you
    The way you do what you do
    The thing I like about you
    God and the devil alone could not have made you up

    Two must have worked as one together
    So good just want to eat you up
    Let me like the real thing
    Lick your sticky fingers boy and sing for your dinner sing

    Come on pretty babe make me lose my mind
    Everybody get together gonna make love shine

    Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
    And all the darkness falls away
    If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
    I've been searching for tonight
    Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
    Forever I'm yours

    I can't stop thinking about you
    Yeah yeah yeah
    Why would I want to
    I like coffee with toast and jelly
    But I'd rather be licking from your back to your belly
    I think I'm going to

    Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
    And all the darkness falls away
    If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
    I've been searching for tonight
    Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
    Forever I'm yours

    Cigarettes and coffee broken heart and being lonely little girls
    And ponies are the things that go together
    Yes and no you have to choose Romeo and Juliet to hang their noose
    You and me would go together

    Kiss Kiss make a wish
    Hope that it comes true
    But I ain't waiting for the world to change
    Gonna change the world for you

    Come on pretty baby make you lose your mind
    Everybody get together gonna make love shine

    Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
    And all the darkness falls away
    If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
    I've been searching for tonight
    Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
    Forever I'm yours

    Come on everybody make me lose my mind
    Everybody get together gonna make love shine Writer/s: BOYD C. TINSLEY, CARTER A. BEAUFORD, DAVID JOHN MATTHEWS, LEROI H. MOORE, RASHAWN ROSS, STEFAN K. LESSARD

  • Kayla from Lufkin, TxI'm watching a rerun of SNL and DMB is playing this song. I thought they were about to play a cover of Word Up until he started singing...
  • Shanice from Sugar Land, TxGreat song, but does it remind anybody else of Cameo's Word Up!???
