Lyrics

Album Version

Now, there's a look that I know, a familiar feeling
Her crush starts to grow, so she picks her massive meat
And takes it all home, cook it for supper
Eats it alone, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show

She hates how I'm always right, I know her emotions
She's got something to hide, but she don't like to talk
Oh, won't look me in the eyes when her crush starts to show
That's when I give her some time, give her some time
Her crush starts to show, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show

Ooh, babe, hey, hey, babe
Mm, baby, baby, baby, hey, hey
Her crush starts to show, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show

Hate me now, love me then
All torn up by my new friend
Hate me now, it's no different
Her crush shows, her crush shows

Ooh, babe, her crush starts to show
Ey, ey, babe, her crush starts to show
Her crush starts to show, ey, ey, babe!
Her crush starts to show
