Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Kool thing, sittin' with a kitty

Now you know you're sure looking pretty

Like a lover not a dancer

Superboy, take a little chance here

[Chorus]

I don't wanna

I don't think so

I don't wanna

I don't think so

[Verse 2]

Kool thing, let me play it with your radio

Move me, turn me on, baby-o

I'll be your slave

Give you a shave

[Chorus]

I don't wanna

I don't think so

I don't wanna

I don't think so

[Bridge]

Yeah

Tell 'em 'bout it, hit 'em where it hurts

Hey, kool thing, come here

Sit down beside me, there's somethin' I gotta ask you

I just wanna know, what're you gonna do for me?

I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls

From male, white, corporate oppression?

[Bridge]

Tell it like it is

Huh?

Yeah

Don't be shy

Word up

Fear of a female planet?

Fear of a female planet? Fear, baby

I just want you to know that we can still be friends

Let everybody know

[Bridge]

Kool thing, kool thing

When you're a star, I know that you'll fix everything

[Verse 3]

Kool thing, sittin' with a kitty

Now you know you're sure looking pretty

Rock the beat just a little faster

Now I know you are the master

[Chorus]

I don't wanna

I don't think so

I don't wanna

I don't think so

[Verse 4]

Kool thing, walkin' like a panther

Come on and give me an answer

Kool thing, walkin' like a panther

What'd he say?

[Chorus]

I don't wanna

I don't think so

I don't wanna

I don't think so
