Lyrics:
Well he's a chick magnet if ya, know what I mean...
The way the girls just go to him well, you shoulda seen...
Oh yeah, he's got style, and it's...plain to see...
Cool shoes and cool tatoos, hair, pomped as tight as can be...
He ain't got a girlfriend...
No one to sing this song to...
He's gonna settle down...
If he meets that special girl soon...
He knows just what to do, when he, goes to the girls..
He writes them poetry and he...brings them flowers...
He knows just what to say when he...goes to the ladies..
Knows how to make a girl smile, how to, drive a girl crazy...
(scat)
Chick magnet x a lot
Chick mag...net...yeah.
