| |'''Official Lyrics'''
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''(Verse 1)'''Girl you should be over this
| |
| No time for playing games with little wicked boys
| |
| | |
| Special like a crooked smile
| |
| | |
| An eyebrow says he’s ready
| |
| | |
| But I just cannot run a mile
| |
| | |
| '''(Chorus)'''
| |
| | |
| Pick your feet up you’re so funky
| |
| | |
| Using words like missy, baby, play me, funky
| |
| | |
| You’re way up high and boy don’t you know it
| |
| | |
| You think the dance floor wears your name?
| |
| | |
| Dance floor wears his name
| |
| | |
| '''(Verse 2)'''
| |
| | |
| If I took a pill and looked at you
| |
| | |
| I wouldn’t stand a chance, I’ll stick to drinking
| |
| | |
| I’m kind of glad you didn’t call
| |
| | |
| You’re not that bright but boy
| |
| | |
| Einstein didn’t look like you
| |
| | |
| '''(Chorus)'''
| |
| | |
| Pick your feet up you’re so funky
| |
| | |
| Using words like missy, baby, play me, funky
| |
| | |
| You’re way up high and boy don’t you know it
| |
| | |
| You think the dance floor wears your name?
| |
| | |
| Dance floor wears his name
| |
| | |
| '''(Bridge 1)'''
| |
| | |
| Well, I've forgotten all the names of those other boys
| |
| | |
| I wrote the sad songs about
| |
| | |
| Well, I can’t quite remember how hard I fell last time
| |
| | |
| You’ve anaesthetized my brain
| |
| | |
| To past and future pain
| |
| | |
| '''(Chorus)'''
| |
| | |
| Cause you’re so funky
| |
| | |
| Using words like missy, baby, play me, funky
| |
| | |
| You’re way up high and boy don’t you know it
| |
| | |
| You think the dance floor wears your name?
| |
| | |
| Dance floor wears his name
| |
| | |
| '''(Bridge 2)'''
| |
| | |
| And so I took that pill
| |
| | |
| And boy you were a thrill
| |
| | |
| Da da da-da, dada...
| |
| | |
| And I didn’t quite believe
| |
| | |
| You said you wouldn’t mess with me
| |
| | |
| But I knew better, oh I knew better, oh I knew better
| |
| | |
| '''(Chorus)'''
| |
| | |
| Cause you’re so funky
| |
| | |
| Using words like missy, baby, play me, funky
| |
| | |
| You’re way up high and boy don’t you know it
| |
| | |
| You think the dance floor wears your name?
| |
| | |
| Dance floor wears his name
| |
| | |
| '''(Bridge 2)'''
| |
| | |
| And so I took that pill
| |
| | |
| And boy you were a thrill
| |
| | |
| Da da da-da, dada...
| |
| | |
| And I didn’t quite believe
| |
| | |
| You said you wouldn’t mess with me
| |
| | |
| Oh I knew better, oh I knew better
| |
| | |
| Oh I knew better, better, better, better, better...
