[Chorus]
I want you to take me out
I want you to bring me downtown
I want you to, oh show me around
I want you to take me out
I want you to bring me downtown
I want you to, oh yeah
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
I'm only gonna wear my long jacket
Sit in the corner with a cigarette
Make you see if I'm, oh yeah
And if your friends wanna look
Well that's okay in my book
It really, oh gets me off my hook

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I know I may look a little square
I know I look like a wooden chair
But I got, oh yeah
And in the words of James Brown
I'm sorry but I came to get down
I'm sorry but I, oh yeah

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I know I may look a little square
I know I look like a wooden chair
But I got, oh yeah
And in the words of James Brown
I'm sorry but I came to get down
I'm sorry but I, oh yeah

Sinéad O’Connor

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
