(gentle upbeat music)

♪ Oh, yeah, yeah, no ♪

♪ Oh ♪

(Steven vocalizing)

♪ I love to look into your big brown eyes ♪

♪ They talk to me and seem to hypnotize ♪

♪ You say the things nobody dares to say ♪

♪ And I'm not about to let you fly away ♪

♪ My lover with no jet lag ♪

♪ We're staying up all night in my sleeping bag ♪

♪ You got a heart-beating rhythm from the subterranean ♪

♪ I really love you, little girl ♪

♪ I don't need to explain ♪

♪ I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl ♪

♪ Like a double shot of lovin' so fine ♪

♪ I've been lovin' you since you was a child, girl ♪

♪ 'Cause you and me is two of a kind ♪

♪ Ah ♪

♪ Like deja vu, I feel like I've been here ♪

♪ Or somewhere else but you've been always near ♪

♪ It's you that's in my dreams I'm begging for ♪

♪ But I woke up when someone slammed the door ♪

♪ So hard I fell out of bed ♪

♪ Screaming mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread ♪

♪ And the moral of the story, I can testify ♪

♪ I get stoned on you girl ♪

♪ That's the best reason why ♪

♪ I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl ♪

♪ Like a double shot of lovin' so fine ♪

♪ I've been lovin' you since you was a child, girl ♪

♪ 'Cause you and me is two of a kind ♪

♪ I love you 'cause your deuces are wild, girl ♪

♪ You know I finally made up my mind ♪

♪ I've been lovin' you since you was a child, girl ♪

♪ 'Cause you and me is two of a kind ♪

♪ La, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh ♪
