D              C
Drop dead legs, pretty smile
G/B                     D
Hurts my head, gets me wild
D
Dig that steam
C
Giant butt
G/B
Makes me scream
       D
I get nothing,
                  C            G/B
nothing but the shakes over you
                             A
And nothing else could ever do

Chorus:
A                 D/A
You know that you want it
A                D/A
I know what you need
A                 D/A
You know that you want it, baby
  B
When the night is through,
         D
will I still be loving you?

Dig those moves, vampire
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
Oooh, aw baby

Chorus:
You know that you want it
I know what you need
You know that you want it, baby
When the night is through,
will I still be loving you?
