I love the way you walk
I love the way you talk
With your mouthful
The way you park on the sidewalk
The way you are in the car
I'll make you love the way I behave
On my bad days
Show you the trigger to my bitch switch
And how to play with my witch stitch
Kiss my dirty feet
I'll take you out for dinner
Laugh at my jokes
I wanna sit on your back
Close my eyes
Take your pulse
It's 120
And it's rising
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you X4
I love the way you rob a shop
I love the way your belly flops
As the morning drops
And the way you change from playing cup
When you force me to stop
First my assailant
Then my private federal agent
Bang my feet chain my hands
And ignore my demands
Kiss my dirty feet
I'll take you out for dinner
Laugh at my jokes ahah
I wanna sit on your back
Close my eyes
Take your pulse
It's 120
(ahhhhh) And it's rising (ahhhh)
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you now
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you oh
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you yeah
All I wanna do, Is kootchi kootchi kootchi koo with you
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you oh
All I wanna do, Is kootchi kootchi kootchi kootchi koo with you
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you now
You're like maggots in my brain
Crawling through my veins
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you
All I wanna do, Is kootchi koo with you
Kootchi
Kootchi
Kootchi
Kootchi
Kootchi
Kootchi
Kootchi
Kootchi
Kootchi koo

Neneh Mariann Karlsson was born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and a father from Sierra Leone. Her mother raised her in a commune with her stepfather, jazz musician Don Cherry (father of Eagle Eye Cherry).

She moved to London in the 1980s and immersed herself in the Bristol music scene (where Massive Attack and Portishead would form), getting involved with bands such as The Cherries, The Slits, New Age Steppers, Rip Rig + Panic and Float Up CP.

But it was her collaboration with the duo Morgan-McVey, who released only the one single “Looking Good Diving”, that would be the springboard to launch her into international stardom. The single’s B-side featured Cherry rapping over the A-side’s instrumental tracks with what later became the lyrics to her 1988 debut breakout single “Buffalo Stance” (its music reworked by Bomb The Bass' Tim Simenon) – which reached the top 10 in eleven countries.
