[Intro: Slick Rick, Aaliyah]
Us? We some old La-Di-Da-Di-ans
Got to give it up
[Verse 1: Aaliyah, Slick Rick]
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 on the floor so somebody would choose me
No more standing upside the wall
Now I got myself together, baby, and I'm having a ball
Long as you're groovin' there's always a chance
Somebody watching might wanna make romance
(Yeah, uh-huh, talk about it now)
Move your body, ooh baby, and dance all night
To the groovin', feel alright
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh, here we go)
Move your body, oh, and move your feet
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
'Cause the DJ's groovin', oh and it sounds so sweet, come on
Baby, just party on and on
(Party over here, party over here)
'Cause this party is jumpin' 'til the break of dawn, oh
[Bridge: Slick Rick]
Well, I peeled off one more thousand and hand her
One more please from my girlfriend Amanda
Rick, honey with that butt like ka-pow wanna but you a drink
Please tell shorty not now
[Verse 2: Aaliyah]
You can have me when you want to, baby
This is such a live party, baby
Going crazy in this place tonight
And the feeling is oh so right, yeah
All the fellas in here are so fine, oh
When you're moving your body
Boy, you're blowing my mind
I think I'm gonna let you do it, baby
[Verse 3: Slick Rick]
One more comment since my time is out
Love that song where you say that line about
"You're a positive motivating force within my life"
No kidding, hit 'em
Named ruler and the ruler wouldn't lie to ya
Wack singing huns all squirm at the sight of ya
Us? We some old La-Di-Da-Di-ans
Let me let you go so you can attend to your audience
[Outro: Aaliyah, Slick Rick]
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby (Come on)
Sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby, sexy baby, baby
Oh, oh, baby, oh, oh baby
Oh yeah, ooh
Bringing love, y'all; bringing love, uh-huh
We bring love, huh, we bring love, haha
