How it's played:

[riff 1]

1-2-3-4

[riff 1] [riff 2]

A
Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam. Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look.
Heavenly bound cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around, kissing is a colour,
her loving is a wild dog, she's got the look.

[riff 2]
A A
She's got the look. She's got the look.
A
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
A
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
G D
and I go: la la la la la she's got the look.

A
Fire in the ice,
naked to the T-bone is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull, she's got the look.

[riff 2]

A
Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer, she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look.

[riff 2]

[Chorus]

And she goes: na na na na na na na na.
