The Flirting Kind

Lyrics

She used to be the flirting kind

But the boy loved her anyway

He made up his mind

She says, "What's a girl to do to be content?"

Use your imagination

Time to experiment

Make love like a punishment

So they call her the flirting kind

The flirting kind

You better stop

Stop your running round

I got everything I wanted

I could make up for lost ground

And the flirting kind

Just the flirting kind

Your love is best

But I'll leave like the rest

Just the flirting kind

Just the flirting kind

They say that her fate is sealed

But she's much too beautiful to ever yield

She says, "What's a girl to do to be content?"

Use your imagination

Time to experiment

Make love like a punishment

So they call her the flirting kind

The flirting kind

She's crying in her sleep

For a man tone deaf

Now is a man all over

He's all over, all over town

The flirting kind

Just the flirting kind

Your love is best

But I'll leave like the rest

Just the flirting kind

Just the flirting kind

Just the flirting kind

Just the flirting kind

Just the flirting kind

Just the flirting kind
