lyrics
Turn on the TV
Open a magazine
Follow the pretty feet
Right down Prince Street
You are what I want, you are what I want (yeah)
You are what I want, you are what I want (yeah)
Like a kid in a candy store
I want more and more and more
All the pretty girls
Oh they run this world
Sense makes no sense
When faced with beauty so intense
I am hypnotized
By the products they advertised
The cold blue eyes
It’s you I want to buy
You are what I want, you are what I want (yeah)
You are what I want, you are what I want (yeah)
I am so ashamed
I buy into the dirty game
All the pretty girls
Oh they run this world
Sense makes no sense
When faced with beauty so intense
You are what I want, you are what I want (yeah)
You are what I want, you are what I want (yeah)
