How, how interesting…
Say baby, what’s your number? Where you live?
Come on over here, let’s make a deal
Interesting…

Ouch!
Interesting…

Looky, looky
What have we here? Mmm

[Verse 1:]
Interesting…
Like a bad politician, you walked into the room
Interesting…
You checkin’ everybody out, I knew you’d get to me soon
(Sooner or later)
Interesting…
Your cologne smelled like a garden in the middle of Rome…ouch!
Interesting…
You offered me your body if I’d take you home
(Home…take me home)

[Chorus:]
The way you walk, the way you talk and think and feel
Intrigues me like a thief to money, money
If I’m not dreaming, this is interesting

[Verse 2:]
And when we first kissed (cool blue flashes)
And honey, your hands, they’re like a feather whip (please! 4 more lashes)

CHORUS

[Breakdown:}
For curiosity’s sake I asked you to dance
Your body moved like the sound of a bass
Interesting…

Acoustically electric, your biceps symmetric
Yeah babe, I like your lines…ouch!
Interesting – like a bad politician, you walked into the room
But it’s alright cuz (I love you)

CHORUS

Ouch! Ouch!
Baby, oh (Interesting)
Say baby, what’s your number? Where you live?
Come on over here, let’s make a deal

It’s so interesting to me, yes it is
Sho’nuff is interesting
I mean, you know I’m not the type
That just speak out on a, an issue like this
(Interesting)
But when you walked in that door
You know you put this on my mind (Interesting)
And I just couldn’t keep it on myself
Had to pinch myself just to see if I was dreamin’
