Somebody call my lover 'cause I'm starting to jones I just can't leave the good stuff alone If I wake up in the night in a terrible sweat Expecting to find you kissing on my neck Because you got me hooked on the way your lips feel You got me strung out on your sex appeal It's the way that you take your time with me It's a feeling that I get inside of me If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you You got my friends saying "Man, you ain't all that tough That girl got you hooked all in her stuff She got you coming home at a decent time When you used to hang out and drink cheap wine She takes care of me, she's always there for me She's not stingy with the stuff, she always shares with me" Somebody call my girl, 'cause I'm ready to score I don't mess with the other stuff no more 'Cause if I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you Everybody! If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you (One more time!) If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you (Hit it!) When I'm sitting on the job daydreaming at work Drawing pictures of my lady in a sexy skirt 'Cause I'm hooked on this cutie, 'round 5-foot-5 With light brown hair and hazel eyes With the tenderest skin and the juiciest lips She's a 34-24-36 See, my baby's got a shape like an hourglass I can't wait to get her home so I can serve that... If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you Everybody! If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you When you hold me in your arms and fill me with your charms My heart skips a beat and my blood gets warm As my temperature rises, she equalizes One thing about my girl, she's full of surprises She rubs her toes up and down my leg And that's when my body starts to misbehave 'Cause then my eyes get big and I start to shake If my girl was a joint, she would be a baller maker If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you Some girls in the world are hooked on guys with cars And some girls in the world are hooked on guys who are stars You got overweight people that can't stop eating Card sharks in the dark that can't stop cheating Some people are even hooked on themselves Not me, I'm hooked on something else But if I gotta be hooked on anything, girl I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you (Now hook me up!) You got my friends saying "Man, you ain't all that tough That girl got you hooked all in her stuff She got you coming home at a decent time When you used to hang out and drink cheap wine She takes care of me, she's always there for me" And she rubs her toes up and down my leg And that's when my body starts to misbehave 'Cause then my eyes get big and I start to shake If my girl was a joint, she would be a baller maker If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you If I gotta be hooked on anything I'd rather be hooked on you
