[Intro]
You got- you got-
You got- the right stuff
[Verse 1: Jordan Knight]
First time was a great time
Second time was a blast
Third time I fell in love
Now I hope it lasts
I can see it in your walk
Tell it when you talk
See it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts
You got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You got the right stuff, baby
You’re the reason why I sing this song
[Verse 2: Jordan Knight]
Your first kiss was a sweet kiss
Second kiss had a twist
Third and your fourth kiss
I don’t want to miss
I can see it in your walk
Tell it when you talk
See it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts
You got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You got the right stuff, baby
You’re the reason why I sing this song
[Pre-Chorus: Donnie Wahlberg]
All that I needed was you
In my life, you’re so right
And all that I wanted was you
You made all (every one of my dreams come true)
[Chorus: NKOTB]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
[Bridge: Jordan Knight]
Girl, yeah baby, yeah
You know you got the right stuff
And girl, yeah, baby
You know, you know you got it, girl
[Pre-Chorus: Donnie Wahlberg]
All that I needed was you
Oh girl, you’re so right
And all that I wanted was you
You made all (you know what you did)
[Chorus: NKOTB]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
[Outro: Jordan Knight]
You got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You got the right stuff, baby
You’re the reason why I sing this song
You got- you got-
You got- you got- you got-
You got- you got-
You got- you got-
You got- the right stuff
[Verse 1: Jordan Knight]
First time was a great time
Second time was a blast
Third time I fell in love
Now I hope it lasts
I can see it in your walk
Tell it when you talk
See it in everything you do
Even in your thoughts
You got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You got the right stuff, baby
You’re the reason why I sing this song
[Verse 2: Jordan Knight]
Your first kiss was a sweet kiss
