You say wine time

I say high time

We say dance

I got my juke box playing in the back girl

And it's rockin'

Because I feel like I wanna rock the block girl

No talking

I like to see what you can do

When you drop your guards and get loose

I wanna make you feel faint

And be your main man rockin' 'round the block girl

Non-stoppin'

I'm kinda hot

Hey come and see

You don't have to be told

I've got a dance degree

I'm always smokin'

I don't be jokin'

I'll leave you chokin'

I say ooh, all I wanna know is

Ooh, you, all I wanna know is

Can-u-dance

Ooh, you, all I wanna know is

Can-u-dance

Ooh, do it like this, ooh

Good god!

Now I'm a stone cold rocker from the deele y'all

No jivin'

What I need is someone to get the feel y'all

And ride it

I wanna block you in a corner

Make your temperature a little warmer

Now do you think that you can hang

I'll work you hard 'til you think you're in a tank girl

With no goggles

I'm kinda hot

Hey come and see

You don't have to be told

I've got a dance degree

I don't be jokin'

I'm always smokin'

I'll leave you chokin'

I say ooh, all I wanna know is

Hook

Ooh, do it like this, ooh

Good god!

Einstein

You say wine time

I say high time

We say dance - now

Deele - sing

Oooh, you, all I wanna know

Oooh, you, all I wanna know

Kayo, play

Oooh, you, all I wanna know

Oooh, you, all I wanna know

Hook 2 times
