She's got a date for lunch in Singapore

Holds stock in I.B.M. and hates Dior

She puts up her make-up on at 6.00am

She goes to work, gets home then puts it on again

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;

She's got so much energy;

She's such an expert at surprising me

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance

And she's so attracted to a wild romance

And more effective than a stimulant -

She's hyperactive

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance

She never missed a beat or missed a chance

And I'm persuaded by her argument

She's hyperactive

The other dancers hyperventilate and start to sweat

One look at her - I know the nights not over yet

She says Where are we going now?

Her voice is sweet and soft

I think she lost the key that turns her motor off

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;

She's got so much energy;

She's such an expert at surprising me

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance

She never missed a beat or missed a chance

And I'm persuaded by her argument

She's hyperactive

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance

And she's so attracted to a wild romance

And more effective than a stimulant -

She's hyperactive

And its a mystery how wild that girl can be;

She's got do much energy;

She's such an expert at surprising me

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance

And she's so attracted to a wild romance

And more effective than a stimulant -

She's hyperactive

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance

She never missed a beat or missed a chance

And I'm persuaded by her argument

She's hyperactive

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance

She never missed a beat or missed a chance

And more effective than a stimulant -

She's hyperactive

She's hyperactive when she starts to dance

She never missed a beat or missed a chance

And more effective than a stimulant -

She's hyperactive
