Lyrics

She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all-time favorite
When I make my move to her room it's the right time
She's never hard to please
ow no

That girl is pretty wild now
(The girl's a super freak)
The kind of girl you read about
(In new-wave magazines)
That girl is pretty kinky
(The girl's a super freak)
I really love to taste her
(Every time we meet)

She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
hay hay hay

She's a super freak, super freak
She's super-freaky, yow
(Everybody sing)
Super freak, super freak

She's a very special girl
(The kind of girl you want to know)
From her head down to her toenails
(Down to her feet, yeah)
And she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends
In a limousine
(Going back in Chinatown)
Three's not a crowd to her, she says
""Room 714, I'll be waiting""
When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles
It's such a freaky scene

That girl is pretty wild now
(The girl's a super freak)
The kind of girl you read about
(In new-wave magazines)
That girl is pretty kinky
(The girl's a super freak)
I really love to taste her
(Every time we meet)

She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
hay hay hay

She's a super freak, super freak
She's super-freaky, yow
Temptations sing!
Ohhhhh

Super freak, super freak
That girl's a super freak
Ohhhhh

She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
And she will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street.
Blow, Danny!

Song Note

James wasn't exactly modest about his ambitions. As he declared in 1981, "I wanna make Paul McCartney white-boy money!" He got it with the self-described "punk funk" of "Super Freak." He enlisted Motown vets the Temptations on vocals. James died this past summer, but ""Super Freak"" lives on.
