Lyrics:
 Who are you girl?
 Who are you boy?
 Bet I know what you’re up to
 Can I come along
 Your home number’s on the wall
 I just had to call, had to
 I’m not the only one
 Who will run with a knife

 Open up your eyes
 Open up your room
 Open up your arms

 One, six, two, seven, eight
 Two, six, three, seven, eight, nine
 Where’s your Daddy now?
 I heard he ran away
 Who are you girl?
 'Cause I’m so bored with myself
 Anyway
 Any time and any place
 I’ll just hang around

 Open up your eyes
 Open up your room
 Open up your arms

 One, six, two, seven, eight
 Two, six, three, seven, eight, nine

 Open up your eyes
 Open up your room
 Open up your arms
 Open up your door
 Open up your eyes
 Open up your room
 Open up your arms
