(C’mon)
I used to go out to parties and stand around
‘Cause I was too nervous to really get down
But my body yearned to be free
I went off the floor
So somebody could choose me, baby
No more standin’ upside the wall
Now I got myself together, baby,
And I’m havin’ a ball
Long as you’re groovin’ there’s always a chance
Somebody watchin’ might wanna make romance
Move your body, move uh baby, and dance all night,
To the groovin’, feel all right
Move your body, move your feet
‘Cause the DJ’S groovin’, (oh)
And it sounds so sweet (c’mon)
Then just party, all night long
‘Cause this party is jumpin’, till the break of dawn
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
You can have me when you want to babe
This is such a live party, baby
Goin’ crazy in this place tonight
And the feelin’ is o’ so right (yeah)
O’ the fellas in here, are so fine (mmmhm)
When your movin’ your body, boy your blowin’ my mind
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby baby
Baby
