Listen
She got a wiggle, she got a wiggle that makes me melt
The problem is that I don't know if she even likes me
She's such a woman, she's such a woman, she's all I need
And I'm the one who loves her so, and now you know, and here I go
I love her face and her soft brown hair
And the poses she strikes when she's standing there
She is woman and I just want her
And in her mind she says; (I'm mad about you)
She's mad about me
She got a voice that's soft and moist
Caresses my ears while heightening my senses
Sexy and warm and tender, I like it
She got a wiggle, she got a wiggle that makes me melt
But I'm afraid to let her know, that I'm the one who loves her so
I love her and in my mind she said(I'm mad about you)
She's mad about me
But it's only a dream
Got to make this real
(Can't live without you)
Do you know what I mean?
(I'm mad about you)
She's mad about me
But it's only a dream
She got a wiggle, she got a wiggle that makes me melt
And I'm somehow gonna find a way to make her love me

Dexys Midnight Runners (currently officially Dexys, their common nickname; sometimes styled with and sometimes without an apostrophe) are an English pop band with soul influences, who achieved their major success in the early to mid-1980s. They are best known in the UK for their songs “Come On Eileen” and “Geno”, both of which peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as six other top-20 singles.

During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Dexys went through numerous personnel changes over the course of three albums and thirteen singles, with only singer/songwriter/co-founder Kevin Rowland remaining in the band through all of the transitions and only Rowland and “Big” Jim Paterson (trombone) appearing on all of the albums. By 1985, the band consisted only of Rowland and long-standing members Helen O'Hara (violin) and Billy Adams (guitar). The band broke up in 1987, with Rowland becoming a solo artist. After two failed restart attempts, Dexys was reformed by Rowland in 2003 with new members, as well as a few returning members from the band’s original lineup (known as Dexys Mark I). Dexys released their fourth album in 2012 and a fifth followed in 2016.
