Shinola version[edit | edit source]
Oh mercy
Girl you lookin' sexy
Movin' on across the floor
Oh mercy
Girl you look so sexy
Saw you comin' through the door
Oh baby, such a fine lady
Talkin' and your voice is deep
Oh baby, such a fine lady
I can hardly speak - Monique!
She's a freak, Monique
I think I'm gonna tweek
She's a freak, Monique
I can hardly speak
She's a freak, Monique
I think I'm gonna tweek
She's a freak, Monique
I can hardly speak
Sexy baby, girl you drive me crazy
Let me take you for a drive
Sexy baby, girl you drive me crazy
My body comes alive (body comes alive)
Got to make you mine
Girl, you so divine
Oh, there's no use tryin'
Make ya feel so fine
Got to have you girl
Take you 'round the world
Make ya start to swirl
Such a lovely girl
She's a freak, Monique
I think I'm gonna tweak
She's a freak, Monique
I can hardly speak
She's a freak, Monique
I think I'm gonna tweak
