[Verse 1]
I don't have to read into this
I don't have to lean into the kiss
You move me naturally (Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce)
You move me naturally
You move me naturally (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, straight to the floor)

I must be in pain 'cause I've never needed anyone before
Well nothing's in vain, 'cause I
Well, nothing's in vain, 'cause I
Well, nothing's in vain, 'cause I've never had it as good before
Before, before, before
[Outro]
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, straight to the floor)
Before, before, before, before
