[Verse 1]
Wanna see you with it
Sho' could treat you right
Give me just a minute
Of your time tonight
We both are here to have good fun
So let it whip
We'll get to groovin'
Love your body language
Baby, let me know
You've got me sort of anxious
We both are here to have good fun
So let it whip
[Chorus]
So let it whip
(Let's whip it, baby)
Child
(Let's whip it right)
Get a grip
(Let's whip it baby)
(Work it all night)
Well, what's your trip?
(No no)
Child
C'mon let it whip
Oww-hoo
[Verse 2]
Now that you can see
How you groove with me
What else can I do
To get closer to you
We both are here to have good fun
So let it whip
We have the natural feeling
Obviously revealing
Let me be your paper man
I'd love to be your joker man
We both are here to have good fun
So let it whip
