Now there's somethin' 'bout good lovin' that all you ladies should know.
If you want to light your man on fire, you gotta start it real slow.
Keep on turning up the voltage
'til that man begin to glow.
Like you switchin' on a lightbulb, watch the juice begin to flow.
Now that I got your attention, here's what you men need to hear. you want your
lady racin' with you you gotta get her in gear.
Here's the key to rev her motor: find the spot she love the best.
If you don't know where it is,
Give her the stick, she'll do the rest.
Push da button!
