Anything Goes
Words and music by Derek Jackson © 2002

Verse 1
You?ve got that little je ne sais quoi
It?s just that little way that you are
It?s nothing in the clothes that you wear
It?s something that you take with you everywhere

Girl, I want you to put it on me
Just whip it on me sensually
With your sexy little bedroom eyes
You got me saying my, my, my

Chorus
I don?t care who knows
I wanna get with you
And anything goes
Keep on all your clothes
Anything you want, girl, goes

Verse 2
I want to be the man of your dreams
And, honey, I would do anything
I?m all about this courtship babe
Opening doors, I?ll be a gentleman all of the way

Your intelligence is four point oh
Your attitude is grade-A, gold
You?re just the kind of girl my mama told me about
Just let me know cause girl I?m down with anything you want

Chorus
I don?t care who knows
I wanna get with you
And anything goes
Keep on all your clothes
Anything you want, girl, anything goes

I don?t care who knows
I wanna get with you
And anything goes
Keep on all your clothes
Anything you want, girl, goes

Bridge
Your love is something I don?t even understand
Just thinking about you likes to drive me crazy
You make me feel like a real man
Because, Honey, you?re my kind of lady

Chorus (Ad lib to end)
I don?t care who knows
(Anything goes)
Keep on all your clothes
(Anything goes)
Anything goes

We don?t have to do a thing that you don?t want to do
I know you?re work the wait
It doesn?t have to be right now
We can decide when we?re excited

We can decide when we get excited
(Anything goes)
We can decide when we get excited
(Anything goes)
