Name this R&B/pop song ("Curiosity"?)

This song was in my head yesterday while at work. Not sure when I heard it last. I guess not on Sirius since they display the name of their tracks (and since their R&B stations offer little variety and shun most eighties R&B).

I think it is from the eighties. Not 100% sure if the singer is male or female but I'm leaning toward female. The lyrics I believe are....

Curiosity
I want to know
Is she (he?) just a play thing?
Curiosity
I want to know
Baby can I pull your string?

And yes, I tried to put some of the lyrics into a Google search but didn't get anything. I'm thinking it's from the eighties. Sort of a Five Star vibe but maybe you a young female singer? Not sure. Thanks in advance.

You need to check out "Crush ON you" their other big dance hit.

I have an awesome remix from the 12" that starts out with Curisoity but goes into an extended version of Crush On you.

FYI Their biggest hit of all was a slow ballad "You Got It All Over"
