Baby squirrel, you’s a sexy motherfucker
Give me your, give me your, give me your attention, baby
I gotta tell you a little something about yourself
You’re wonderful, flawless, ooh, you’re a sexy lady
But you walk around here like you wanna be someone else
(Oh whoa-oh-oh)
I know that you don’t know it, but you’re fine, so fine (fine, so fine)
(Oh whoa-oh-oh)
Oh girl, I’m gonna show you when you’re mine, oh mine (mine, oh mine)
Treasure, that is what you are
Honey, you’re my golden star
You know you can make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you
If you let me treasure you
(Whoa-oh-oh-h-h-h)
Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl, you should be smiling
A girl like you should never look so blue
You’re everything I see in my dreams
I wouldn’t say that to you if it wasn’t true
(Oh whoa-oh-oh)
I know that you don’t know it, but you’re fine, so fine (fine, so fine)
(Oh whoa-oh-oh)
Oh girl, I’m gonna show you when you’re mine, oh mine (mine, oh mine)
Treasure, that is what you are
Honey, you’re my golden star
You know you can make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you
If you let me treasure you
(Whoa-oh-oh-h-h-h)
You are my treasure, you are my treasure
You are my treasure, yeah, you, you, you, you are
You are my treasure, you are my treasure
You are my treasure, yeah, you, you, you, you are
Treasure, that is what you are
Honey, you’re my golden star
You know you could make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you
If you let me treasure you
(Whoa-oh-oh-h-h-h)
