[Chorus]
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
You sold me, control me
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
[Verse 1]
I thought I had my game up tight
But with you I couldn't play it right
I pretended to be ice cold
But inside my temperature rose, oh yeah
Hoo, hoo (Repeat 6X)
I tried and I tried but I can't resist
[Chorus]
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
You sold me, control me
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
[Verse 2]
To think that I once boasted around
No ones arms could ever tie me down
But you've changed my point of view
And now I'm trying to tie a knot onto you, oh baby
Hoo, hoo (Repeat 6X)
I was the seller, not the buyer until I met you
[Chorus]
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
You sold me, control me
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
[Bridge: Michael]
You're priceless merchandise
You're precious merchandise
You sold me, control me
[Outro]
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
Come on...
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
Come on...
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
Come on...
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
You sold me, control me
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
[Verse 1]
I thought I had my game up tight
But with you I couldn't play it right
I pretended to be ice cold
But inside my temperature rose, oh yeah
Hoo, hoo (Repeat 6X)
I tried and I tried but I can't resist
[Chorus]
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
You sold me, control me
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
[Verse 2]
To think that I once boasted around
No ones arms could ever tie me down
But you've changed my point of view
And now I'm trying to tie a knot onto you, oh baby
Hoo, hoo (Repeat 6X)
I was the seller, not the buyer until I met you
[Chorus]
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
You sold me, control me
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
[Bridge: Michael]
You're priceless merchandise
You're precious merchandise
You sold me, control me
[Outro]
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
Come on...
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
Come on...
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
Come on...
