Story Behind the Song
ditchbank doodling with the AMPAD longboy. Home on the range with Ally Mc8.1. How could the lyric NOT reveal, revive and rejuvenate the funk that lamentably withers within?!
Lyrics
THING4U
it's that giggle
it's that crinklin' your nose
it's that wiggle
it's that ticklin' with your toes
it's those nails
and the places that they goes
it never fails
it's that nibblin' on my lobes
I got inhibitions
I got hidden doubt
you got little passkeys
let my monkey out
I, I, I got a thing for you
you make me somethin' crazy
with that thing you do
that little extra somethin'
I come unglued
I, I, I got a thing
for you
it's that 99-y eye
it's that sly Samantha nose
it's that jilted Jeannie sigh
an' that jaunty Ginger pose
it's that Ellie Mae pouty lip
it's them petticoat junction bows
it's that Laura Petrie flip
it's that Wonder Woman
jiggle 'round the globes
I got complications
I get inside out
you got motivations
make my monkey shout
I, I, I got a thing for you
peelin' off the ceilin'
when the day is through
at night you make it right
doin' that thing you do
I, I, I got a thing
for you
your comin' for the ride
your answerin' the call
your stickin' by my side
when I swear I'll chuck it all
your tangy-mellow blend
heaven helper in a cup
your fillin' me again
it's that workin' perkin'
never givin' up
I got terminations
final words been said
you got incantations
raise monkey from the dead
I, I, I got a thing for you
you make me something crazy
with that thing you do
you fret we sweat
I come unglued
I, I, I got a thing
for you
