Lyrics:

Yeah.  Uh.  Oo-oh.
Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

You better get it again, come on, get up on me, ma
Sweet as the juice in a peach, my mouth ready for water falling (Oo oh)
Grab on to me and you'll get a dose, strap on and don't get thrown
We'll keep on rockin' the microphone, coming all over tomorrow (Oo)

Know it ain't right
I've been waiting for you all damn night
So, baby, come over
(Get it on me, mommi, just how you like it)

Out of sight
I'm gonna treat you oh so right
So, lady, come on - yeah
'Cause, girl, you got me sprung

Basic Chorus:
Baby, I want you, I need you, to feel you
I would love you all night strong
See, if you were my girl (Yeah)

Tell me that you want me, to please you, 'cause I need to
I would love you all night strong
See, if you were my girl

Oh. Sugah. M-m-m-...

Blue jeans that hung off her hips, with lips that practically drove me manic (Ooo oh)
Sexy electric send chills through me, girl, can you feel the static? (Yeah yeah yeah)
Ready to roll, she was built for speed, not like an automatic (Uh huh)
Dangerous curves, if she gets to swerve on, are you ready for havoc?
Right now

You know it ain't right
I've been waiting for you all damn night
So, baby, come over
(Are you ready for a test of my love for you?)

Out of sight
I'm gonna treat you oh so right
So, lady, come on - yeah
'Cause girl you got me sprung

Repeat chorus

...

Repeat chorus x 2

...

Tell me that you want me, to please you
My girl

Another rock / pop song off the Schizophrenic album, this song doesn't reach new heights but it has a good dance beat and tries new combination of lyrics.

Lyrically, the words are fun.  Different senses play ('peach', 'built for speed, not like an automatic').  Any sex reference is subtle, as the words flow through playful interaction before the bridge.

The melody seems a bit forceful, but that follows the rock / pop 'having fun, playing in a garage band' feel.  The higher 'whoa's and pseudo-screams reinforce the 'fun' factor.

Grade (on a 5-point scale):
Lyrics:  3.4
Music:  3.0
Overall:  3.2
