Next Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woah
She popped that pussy on a Monday
She never falls in love
But she heard me in the club, she put in work
She wanna give me all her money
She used to spend it all alone cause her man went and did her wrong, so she
But baby I'm not tryin' to be the one
I got my baby waitin' home
She been too good to let that go
And I ain't tryna win your heart
And you can't pay to win my love
So keep dancin', baby, keep dancin', dancin'
Keep dancin', dancin', keep dancin'
[Pre-Hook]

So let go, so let go

Baby (I want you)

Don't make me pop your cheap ass pills
I used to do this for the thrill, yeah
I know you got a lot to lose
But ain't nobody here but me
So baby what you got to prove, yeah

On the pole, on the floor, you're alone
But there ain't nothing I can do
So keep dancin', baby, keep dancin', dancin'
Keep dancin', dancin', keep dancin'
