It's the new
What you gonna do?
Everybody move to the floor
I saw you pull to the back
And roll with the cream in the black
I look at you, you look right back
Like you wanna get funk-ay
I hit the bar to buy you a drink
Feel you out to see how you think
It's do or die, I'ma swim or sink
'Cause I wanna get funk-ay
I love the way you move
I can't wait to get you on the floor 'cause
You got that body baby
I came to ask you for this dance, girl
CHORUS
Let's set it off
Show me what you got
Let's set it off
Baby let's dance, girl
Let's set it off
Can't let you leave
Can't let you leave until we dance girl
Let's set it off
Show me what you got
Let's set it off
Baby let's dance
Let's set it off
Wanna feel that fire
'Cause there'll be fire when we dance
Hold up it's not about sex
It's all about the vibe and the mix
You and me, one with the kick drum
Don't you wanna get funk-ay?
Let me see rolling hips
Let me sneak a kiss on the lips
Let me teach you girl how to get crunked
'Cause I wanna get funk-ay
I love the way you move
I can't wait to get you on the floor 'cause
You got that body baby
I came to ask you for this dance, girl
CHORUS
I ain't trying to take you home
Can we get our dance on?
Ain't no harm in moving your body here in the party
Come on baby let's go (we can do a two step or freestyle)
Baby let's go (do a little twist with a breakdown)
I just want your body here with me, yeah
Baby let's go
Give me your hand
We're gonna dance
We're gonna be turning these up tonight
Baby let's go
Give me your hand
We're gonna dance
We're gonna be turning this out tonight
CHORUS
Let's set it off
Show me what you got
Let's set it off (set it off)
Dance
Let's set it off
Can't let you leave (there'll be fire burning when we dance)
Can't let you leave until we dance
Let's set it off (that fire baby, set it off)
Show me what you got
Let's set it off (that fire baby, set it off)
Dance (gonna get that fire baby)
Let's set it off
Wanna feel that fire
'Cause there'll be fire when we dance dance dance dance
That fire baby
That fire baby (when we dance)
