Lyrics

III

[Verse 1]

Demons are following me

Following what we can't see

I just want to dance, baby

Move around, twirling

See you on the floor, you're back

Nobody has it like you have

[Chorus]

Let me feel something

More than just the ordinary night

People in club, they be hatin', baby

They see you lookin' over, relatin', lady

I just wanna, hold you down

Maybe if you wanna go around town

Walk the High Line, do a thing

Maybe if you wanna swing

You gettin' mad, awfully bitter

When no one pays attention, but you know you're a winner

For me

For me

Let's do it, on count of 3

1, 2, 3!

On time

[Verse 2]

Cupid keeps targeting me

Arrows are flying, I can't see

I just want a Michelle Obama lady

To hold me down when the world's crazy

See you own the city, so bad

Nobody loves you like your dad

[Chorus]

Let me feel something

More than just the ordinary night

People in club, they be hatin', baby

They see you lookin' over, relatin', lady

I just wanna, hold you down

Maybe we can walk around the downtown

Go to Paris, maybe France

Even Russia if you wanna dance

You gettin' mad, awfully bitter

When no one pays attention, cause you know you're a winner

For me

For me

Let's do it, on count of 3

1, 2, 3!

[Bridge]

Oh darling

What you waiting for?

You know we've got it

Let me, let me

Let me

1, 2, 3!

1, 2, 3!

Move a little

1, 2, 3!
