Lyrics
Tell me lawyer, what to do
I think I'm falling in love with you, mm
Defend me from the way I feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life, mm
I'm sure that we can make a deal
I confess, I'm a fool for men
With a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match
For this heart of mine (for this heart of mine)

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

Your sense of justice I'll embrace
But your defense don't help my case, mm
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey, lawyer, gotta catch me when I fall
Oh, they say that you match your wits
With the best of them, mm-hm-mm
But I know when I'm close you're just
Like the rest of them (like the rest of them)

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

So put your books aside
Loosen up the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart and let me in, oh
Open up your heart and let me in

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical male

Ooh, the reaction
I'm just using my feminine charm
On a typical male, on a typical

All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using my female attraction
On a typical male, on a typical

All I want
Ooh, a little reaction
Just enough
