(Yay-yay! Yay-yay!)

When I first laid eyes on you,
I got the urge to hold you.
And the way you move your lips,
I got the urge to kiss you.
Every single little movement,
Fills my heart with desire.
Sends electric current through me,
Like a forest fire.
I got the ur-ur-ur-ur-urge, (whoo), to love you.

Now, baby, turn the lights down low,
I got the urge to hug you.
Snuggle tighter in my arms,
I got the urge to squeeze you.
Be my lovin' doll forever,
Let me carry you home.
'Cause I got a mind to marry you,
And make you my own.
I got the ur-ur-ur-ur-urge, whoo, to love you.

Well, the way I feel for you (yay-yay),
Scares me half to death (ah-huh).
I have to count down just to catch my breath.
I'm countin' ten, (nine), eight, (seven),
Six, (five), four, (three), two-oo-oo-oo, ((one)).
Ahhh!

(Hoo-dah), I got the urge.
(Hoo-dah), I got the urge.
(Hoo-dah), I got the urge.
(Hoo-dah), I got the ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-urge.
(Ur-ur-ur-urge.)
Whoo! To love you. Yeah. Whoo!
