Intrinsic and extrinsic properties
An intrinsic property is a property of a system or of a material itself or within. It is independent of how much of the material is present and is independent of the form of the material, e.g., one large piece or a collection of small particles. Intrinsic properties are dependent mainly on the chemical composition or structure of the material.
A property that is not essential or inherent is called an extrinsic property. For example, density is a physical intrinsic property of any physical object, whereas weight is an extrinsic property that varies depending on the strength of the gravitational field in which the respective object is placed.
In biology, intrinsic effects originate from inside an organism or cell, such as an autoimmune disease or intrinsic immunity.

Kylie
by: AkcentKylie give me... Kylie give me...
Baby, you`re the one that melts my heart,
I swear I`m not lying
Maybe, tonight I`m gonna try my luck
I can see that you want me
I`m dreaming about you every night; every night!
CHORUS (x2)
Kylie, give me just a chance,
lets go out and dance,
We can get into the groove,
I can watch you move,
Later you can sing to me,
like a shining star,
But I rather do you on the backseat of my car
Baby, take a minute, check me out,
I sit on the front row,
Baby, I`m the coolest guy in the crowd,
I`m sure you have seen me.
I`m dreaming about you every night; every night!
CHORUS (x2)
You drive me crazy, you slowly drive me crazy,
Red blooded baby, cant get you off my mind,
I should be lucky, I should be so lucky,
I should be lucky, to sleep with you tonight.
CHORUS (x2)
