LYRICS
(Verse I)
I've been watching your eyes
and I've been watching you move
And I'm playing for the grand prize
Since I've been watching you groove
(Verse II)
And I've been watching you close,
and I’ve been watching you stretch
I've been watching your sin
Just a little glimpse I caught in the flesh
From all you sparks that we're in
(Bridge I)
And I've been watching your eyes
I could read your stare
And baby, it's so hard, so hard, so hard
(Chorus I)
I'll be anything you want me to be
A star ship trooper from another galaxy
Show you anything you wanna see
I'll be your short term memory love, baby
(Verse III)
And you've been watching my mouth
'cause it's been quite some heard
Wonder if it'll come down
Yeah baby, throw you there
(Bridge II)
And I've been watching your eyes
I could read your stare
And baby, it's so hard, so hard, so hard
(Chorus II)
I'll be anything you want me to be
A star ship trooper from another galaxy
Show you anything you wanna see
I'll be your short term memory love, baby
Be your short term memory love, baby...
ohw ohw ohw...
(Solo)
(Outro)
I'll be your short term memory love
I'll be your short term memory love
I'll be your short term memory love
I'll be your short term memory love
aah, aah, aah, ahh
