Hey, hey
Oh, baby
Yeah
[Chorus]
(Ooh) Step on up to this
Step, step on up to this
Step on up to this crazy love
[Verse 1]
Hey, I'm classy
But I don't mind if you get at me
It's okay to get nasty, just the way that you like
You say I'm sexy
So bad, they should arrest me
You can't forget me
Gave you the time of your life
[Pre-Chorus]
What you need, babe, is a number one
Can't you see, babe?
I got what you've been waiting for
What you need, babe, is a work of art
What you need, babe
Come get it, I got it
Hey, hey
Oh, baby
Yeah
[Chorus]
(Ooh) Step on up to this
Step, step on up to this
Step on up to this crazy love
[Verse 1]
Hey, I'm classy
But I don't mind if you get at me
It's okay to get nasty, just the way that you like
You say I'm sexy
So bad, they should arrest me
You can't forget me
Gave you the time of your life
[Pre-Chorus]
What you need, babe, is a number one
Can't you see, babe?
I got what you've been waiting for
What you need, babe, is a work of art
What you need, babe
Come get it, I got it
