Anticipating
Britney Spears · Britney
Lookin' in the mirror and I'm checkin' out my lipstick
Girlfriends up in the back, we're out for an all night
Feelin' so crazy cool
Vibe so right, don't know if they're ready for it
Valet baby here's the keys, about to step inside
Skip on the drinks, head to the floor
Makin' my way 'n' that's for sure
My body's taken over 'n' I want some more
CHORUS
I'll be anticipating
This is our song they're playin'
I wanna ride with you
You're feelin' this right, let's do this tonight
Step up baby don't be shy
I know you're feelin' me, 'cuz you're givin' me the eye and I
Don't want to play around, baby watch me move
Check this, let's make a scene
Don't leave me waitin' longer, why you wanna make me long for ya
Move it baby, over here, so we can set it off
We can get down to the DJ's sound
Feelin' so good baby all around
Feelin' kinda naughty come 'n get me now
CHORUS - repeat
You gotta really let me know if you want me
You gotta turn me on and make me feel sexy
You gotta show me you got everything I need
CHORUS - repeat
You gotta really let me know if you want me
You gotta turn me on and make me feel sexy
You gotta show me you got everything I need
