Nine o’clock (nine o’clock), home alone (home alone)
Paging you (paging you)
Wishing you’d come over my place (my place)
After while (after while), let me know (let me know)
We can’t just keep talking ’bout the last time (last time)

And back rubs (and back rubs)
Hit me back (hit me back)
Girl I hope you hurry ’cause
I’m so anxious so meet me at eleven-thirty
I love the way your talkin’ dirty said I’m
So anxious girl could you quit this stallin’
You know I’m a sexaholic said I’m
So anxious so meet me at eleven-thirty
I love the way your talkin’ dirty said I’m
So anxious, girl could you quit this stallin’
You know I’m a sexaholic said I’m

The same thang I’ve been thinkin’ (I’ve been thinkin’)

And before we get to touch the bed
Baby back up every word you said
And before we, got to hit the lights
And before we start the candlelight
Baby girl I want to bump and grind

So anxious girl could you quit this stallin’
You know I’m a sexaholic said I’m
So anxious so meet me at eleven-thirty
I love the way your talkin’ dirty said I’m
