[Intro]
It's something about her you know that
The way she cares of herself, she's just so bad
Ooh, I dont know

[Verse 1]
Her style, her mind compares
To nothing on this earth
She's not the kind to share
Only God know what she's worth

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing
I gotta show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

[Chorus]
Her eyes, her smile, her skin
Her smell, her hair (She's incredible, baby, ooh)
Her walk, her talk, her way her savoir faire
There she goes, there she goes
(There she goes)

[Verse 2]
I hope to find her there
Gotta make some eye contact
She's not the kind to stare
Move quick or lose her fast

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing
I gotta show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

[Chorus]
Her eyes, her smile, her skin
Her smell, her hair (Ooh baby, she's incredible, baby)
Her walk, her talk, her way, her savoir faire
There she goes, there she goes, ooh
(There she goes)
Her eyes, her smile, her skin
Her smell, her hair (You're incredible, baby)
Her walk, her talk, her way, her savoir faire
There she goes (There she goes)

[Bridge]
Spending all my time watchin' that girl go (dance)
Gotta love the way she moves (Get down, girl)
Spending all my time watchin' that girl go (dance)
Gotta love the way she moves

[Chorus]
Her eyes, her smile, her skin
Her smell, her hair (She's incredible, baby)
Her walk, her talk, her way, her savoir faire
There she goes (There she goes, baby)
Her eyes, her smile, her skin
Her smell, her hair (You're incredible, baby)
Her walk, her talk, her way, her savoir faire
There she goes (There she goes)
Her eyes, her smile, her skin
Her smell, her hair (Oh, baby, yeah)
Her walk, her talk, her way, her savoir faire
There she goes (There she goes)

[Outro]
Spending all my time watchin' that girl go (dance)
Gotta love the way she moves (Get down, girl)
Spending all my time watchin' that girl go (dance)
Watch her go, watch her go
Gotta love the way she moves (dance)

I got to show her that I want her
Spending all my time watchin' that girl go
If I can't have her, then I'll go crazy
Gotta love the way she moves
I got to show her that I want her
Spending all my time watchin' that girl go
If I can't have her, then I'll go crazy
Gotta love the way she moves
I got to show her that I want her...
If I can't have her, then I'll go crazy...
I got to show her that I want her...

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
