Every time we’re together, I get what I need
She delivers, satisfaction guaranteed
She’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but you know she’s all right with me
She sure ‘nuff gets it done, checks every single one
Takes me where I want to be

She checks all the boxes, I’m talking 10 out of 10
I was made to love her, can’t wait to see that girl again
She checks all the boxes, oh yeah, she checks all the boxes

Smart, kind, wise, funny, same disposition cloudy or sunny
Likes spicy food, good appetite, loves soul music, heard of O.V. Wright
Shares her impressions, feeds my obsessions
We hold on tight and whisper midnight confessions
She’s been through the wringer and come out the other side
Anywhere she’s driving, she can take me for a ride

She checks all the boxes, I’m talking 10 out of 10
I was made to love her, can’t wait to see that girl again
She checks all the boxes, oh yes she does, she checks all the boxes

At work she’s a geek, at night she’s a freak
This girl overflows with everything I seek
She loves a lot of things, and she doesn’t hate many
She might have some faults, but I haven’t found any

She checks all the boxes, I’m talking 10 out of 10
I was made to love her, can’t wait to see my girl again
She checks all the boxes, oh yes she does, she checks all the boxes
