Lyrics:
The boys know what you′re giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living you’ve got the boys all on the run
STs showing, you really got me going maybe you can give me a price
I wanna try it, yeah I wanna buy it, tell me would you treat me nice
Oh my legs are shaking, oh my heart is breaking
I’m just feeling like a boy
Now I just can’t slow down, gotta get in, go down
Have my share of what a joy
