[Verse]
GI know you noticed me Cnotice
You crossin’ that Gfloor
The way you look in those Cblue jeans
Girl what you teasin’ me Gfor
All I wanted was Cone drink
And just a bit of your Gtime
But you questioned my inCtentionsD  
Before I fed you a Gline
[Chorus 1]
Anterior Ammotives – DI wanna stare in those Geyes
Posterior Ammotives – Dlets leave our past Gbehind
Gonna put you on Amnotice – Ddon’t miss out on the Emdream
But ulterior Ammotives – DI don’t know what that Gmeans
[Verse 2]
One drink turned into Ctwo more
You say I’m wearin’ you Gdown
But since you bought us the Clast two
I’d say you want me Garound
Don’t bother headin’ for the Cdoor alone
Or say it’s getting’ too Glate
Don’t worry girl I’m not Cleavin’D  
I know you want me to Gstay
[Chorus 2]
Anterior Ammotives – I wanna kiss those Glips
Posterior Ammotives – my hands behind your Ghips
Let’s get on beyond Amthis – to where a foot rubbin’ Emleads
But ulterior Ammotives – DI don’t know what that Gmeans
[Chorus 3]
Anterior Ammotives – you dressed to catch my Geye
Posterior Ammotives – I kissed my ass Ggoodbye
Why didn’t I Amnotice – you played me like a Emsong
                      Am   D(pause)              G  
Ulterior motives – whew, they were your all along

[Verse]

G C

I know you noticed me notice

You crossin’ that floor

The way you look in those blue jeans

Girl what you teasin’ me for

All I wanted was one drink

And just a bit of your time

C D

But you questioned my intentions

Before I fed you a line

[Chorus 1]

Am D G

Anterior motives – I wanna stare in those eyes

Am D G

Posterior motives – lets leave our past behind

Am D Em

Gonna put you on notice – don’t miss out on the dream

Am D G

But ulterior motives – I don’t know what that means

[Verse 2]

One drink turned into two more

You say I’m wearin’ you down

But since you bought us the last two

I’d say you want me around

Don’t bother headin’ for the door alone

Or say it’s getting’ too late

C D

Don’t worry girl I’m not leavin’

I know you want me to stay

[Chorus 2]

Am G

Anterior motives – I wanna kiss those lips

Am G

Posterior motives – my hands behind your hips

Am Em

Let’s get on beyond this – to where a foot rubbin’ leads

Am D G

But ulterior motives – I don’t know what that means

[Chorus 3]

Am G

Anterior motives – you dressed to catch my eye

Am G

Posterior motives – I kissed my ass goodbye

Am Em

Why didn’t I notice – you played me like a song

Am D G

(pause)

Ulterior motives – whew, they were your all along
