Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
Take off your party dress.
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved.

I hang around dying to be tortured
I've got a feeling
I'm going to get a lot of grief
Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning

And you say...
daddy's coming home soon
Don't pass out now, there's no refund
Money's gone already
With a handful of…booty
a bevy of beauty
shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
shoot the pony

I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
And I'm giving you a longing look
Take off your party dress
I just wanna be loved.
