Wanna see you with it
Sure 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

I know you're in 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

How you groove with me
What else can I do
To get closer to you

Obviously revealing
