Lyrical Transcription: Official lyrics from Licorice Tea Demos liner notes

Me and this girl
Red lip blue eye dark long curl
Dance around until her flags unfurl
Crazy as a demon from another world
Get down
Cause I feel like I own this town
So I do, so do you
Make a jungle sound I make one too
I try to say good-bye to the color blue
Mmm I really shouldn't talk to you

I have a sis
Strawberry blond and chocolate kiss
Thigh high boots and all of this
Boogie like a fiend until pure bliss
Hello
This is not a place that I should flow
Talk about the sky or the lunar show
Make it up as I go
So very sweet that it hurts my teeth
The topical discussion is beyond belief
I'm trapped like a mouse in a cat's paw
Sexiest Persian that I ever saw
You got to speak up cause I cannot hear
Lips moving closer to my ear
Be a dear... not so near
Go ahead and buy me just one more beer
I try to turn the focus down to my shoe
I really shouldn't talk to you

U can look but U can't touch
U can look but U can't touch
U can look but U can't touch
I really kind of like it but it's much too much
U can look but U can't touch
U can look but U can't touch
U can look but U can't touch
I really kind of like it but it's much too much
My, what a chick
Fiery red with your first pick
Hanging out with her is quite a kick
To be or not to be is the trick
She says the two of you are just good friends
All good things can come to an end
And what's the problem anyway when there's no ring?
Very interesting
Hey man, I love you but you know how it is
Even Mr. Cracker never counted on cheez whiz
I'm trying to be cool I swear but by golly
Your girl is so nice...and my folly
Riles me up every time I even look at her
My mind says "no" but the body does me good sir
Every little thing, ga goo goo ga goo
What can what can I do? Pick up the glue
And paste up my mouth and my eyeballs, too
Mmm I really shouldn't talk to you

U can look but U can't touch
U can look but U can't touch
U can look but U can't touch
I really kind of like it but it's much too much
U can look but U can't touch
U can look but U can't touch
U can look but U can't touch
I really kind of like it but it's much too much

Me and this girl
Red lip blue eye dark long curl
Dance around until her flags unfurl
Crazy as a demon from another world
Get down
Cause I feel like I own this town
So I do, so do you
Make a jungle sound I make one too
I try to say good-bye to the color blue
Mmm I really shouldn't talk to you
