Lyrics

Sassy

(Soul sassy, soul sassy)

[Neneh Cherry:]

Fellas got to give me the most respect

Cuz you know I don't like to waste my time

So don't give me that

I'm laying low; I sizzle slow

I might be tripping, but I do my thing

I play the games like monkey in the middle - not

Piece by piece like a puzzle we come together

Guru...

[Guru:]

You never seen a girl like this before

Because she's so sassy completely secure

Check out the way she walks and talks

She got the force to knock it out the box

Now I've known this lady for some time

Yes of course she's fine

The only one of her kind - buss it

The lady has so much pazzaz if you step

To her wrong you're getting played like jazz"

[Neneh Cherry:]

Conversations don't say the most

Along the way I've heard some boas-sting!

I roll my dice and take what comes

Numbers, numbers, numbers as I hang with my chums

I count my lucky days - cause I know when they come

If you're looking for a ride boy watch me run

All the way to China (China, China)

Or just between peace and man

[Guru:]

On yes she's nifty-hefty; the beat plays on

She's bout to rip the roof off from dusk to dawn

So when you see lady for must give her props

Keep the champagne flowin' until the music stop

I'm man of my time she's a woman of hers too

Old fashioned; but still stashing a few

New styles for roughneck rude

So I'm gonna stuff it in your face like gourmet food

[Neneh Cherry:]

Hooked like a picture and look to the wall

And hanging like Picasso seems so tall

Voluptous; I had a choice to be monagomous

Me and my baby forgot to check what day it was

Under the covers kissing to the way it was

Freshly squeezed so pure and natural

Unique in character and this is factual
