[Intro]
All rise
Blue
Too close
[Chorus]
Baby, when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, your dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me
[Verse 1: Lee]
Oh, the slow songs you requested
You're dancing like you're naked
Oh, it's almost like we're sexing (Oh yeah)
Yeah boo, I like it
No, I can't deny it
But I know you can tell I'm excited, oh girl
[Pre-Chorus: Anthony (w/ girl)]
Step back you're dancing kind of close
I feel a little pull coming through
On you
Now, girl, I know you felt it
Before you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do
[Chorus]
Baby, when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, your dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me
[Verse 2: Lee]
Baby girl's dancing so close; ain't a good idea
Cause I'ma want you now and here
The way that you shake it on me
Makes me want you so bad sexually (ooh, girl)
[Pre-Chorus: Duncan & Simon (w/ girl)]
Step back you're dancing kind of close
I feel a little pull coming through
On you
Now, girl, I know you felt it
Before you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do
[Chorus]
Baby, when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, your dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me
[Bridge: Blue]
I love when you shake it like that, hah, hah, hah
I see that you like it like that, hah, hah, hah
I love when you shake it like that, hah, hah, hah
I see that you like it like that, hah, hah, hah
[Chorus]
Baby, when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, your dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me
Baby, when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, your dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me
Baby, when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, your dancing real close
Plus it's real real slow
You're making it hard for me
