Lyrics

Every time I see her
She don’t even look my way
Maybe she will notice me
But then what would I say?
I would say what’s on my mind
But the words are hard to find
But I’m gonna try to tell her anyway
… Just my style?
(Everything about her)
Drives me wild
(Don’t you know that she’s)
Just my style?
(Everything about her)
Drives me wild
(Don’t you know that she’s)
Fine so fine?
… Other guys who meet her
May not think she’s much to see
I can’t begin to tell you
What she always does to me
Maybe it’s the clothes she wears
Or the way she combs her hair
Oh, that makes me want to tell her that I care
… Just my style?
(Everything about her)
Drives me wild
(Don’t you know that she’s)
Just my style?
(Everything about her)
Drives me wild
(Don’t you know that she’s)
Fine so fine?
… Maybe it’s the clothes she wears
Or the way she combs her hair
All that makes me want to tell her that I care
… Just my style?
(Everything about her)
Drives me wild
(Don’t you know that she’s)
Just my style?
(Everything about her)
Drives me wild
(Don’t you know that she’s)
Fine so fine?
… Don’t you know that
She’s just my style?
(Everything about her)
Drives me wild
Don’t you know that she’s
Just my style?
(Everything about her)
Drives me wild
