When you dance all night giving it all you got
And you cover me in your body sweat
Like liquid honey, your kiss is so sweet
You're my fantasy
Oh won't you stay with me

You're driving me wild
You're driving me crazy
Baby
You are outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy
Baby baby
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy

I know the flesh is weak
I pray my soul to keep providing me with dignity
My body's clean but my mind is so bad
If you want some of this
You've got to be my man, don't you see

You're driving me wild
You're driving me crazy (baby)
Baby
You are outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy
Baby, baby
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy

Hey boy your love is kicking
No I think your love is dope
What am I gonna do when the night is through?
I got an obsession and you know that's you
Punping in my body, driving me crazy
Ina dry land you're like an oasis
Making me hot, making me lazy - you amaze me

So you be the train and I'll be the track
You turn me into a mono maniac
There ain't no stopping me when I go off
I don't show off, I need to cool off
My body's pullin' me in each and everyday
Coca cola kool aid wet my whistle baby, baby, baby

Everyone's looking for a true love
Everyone's looking for a true love
For the true love

Baby
You are outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy
Baby, baby
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy

I make sure to preserve what I have
My body's clean but my mind is bad
You know some girls and boys it's sad
Lost their love and all they had
Layin' layin' down all the time
Layin' layin' down on the ground
Being better known as a doormat
Hey what kinda life is that
So climb into my head
Let's do the dirty
You wanna go to bed
Don't get shirty
The answer is no, 'cause your love is dope
Can't you see it's not that I won't, just wait, just wait

Baby
You are outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy
Baby, baby
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy

Baby
You are outre risque locomotive, driving me crazy
Baby, baby
You're a super static automative, crazy or lazy...

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.
