You had on blue jeans. Your eyes couldn't hide anything. I saw you breathing And I saw you staring out in space. I next saw you, you was at a party. Thought you was a queen, oh so flirty. I came against. Didn't say excuse. You knew what I was doing, We looked ver! y fine 'cause we were leaving. Like Saint Joan, doing a cool, cool jerk Oh I want you, Oh I want you... like a kangaroo...
