The night is so young
(The night is so young)
The stars are so bright
(The stars are so bright)
(Yeah... the way that we dance)
ahhh ahhh ahh
Dance, I say
Gotta work on the seduction
If you wanna get it on
but if you think that i'm an easy catch
you're dead wrong
Gotta work on the seduction
If you wanna get it on
but if you think that i'm an easy catch
you're dead wrong
Can I buy you a drink?
No
Ain't what you think.
No
I'm Superman
No
Be my Lois Lane
I don't care if you're the only single man on earth
Don't be sure you're gettin' lucky tonight
Don't be
Gotta work on the seduction
If you wanna get it on
but if you think that i'm an easy catch
you're dead wrong
Patience ain't a friend of mine
You and me, only one night
If you wash it boy, let it dry, let it dry
I got the recipe
Gotta cook it slowly
See I'm your remedy
If you want to succeed
Just let the girl take the lead
Follow just for once in your life
The night is so young
(The night is so young)
The stars are so bright
(The stars are so bright)
(Yeah... the way that we dance)
Dance, I say
Can I buy you a drink?
No
Still ain't changed your mind
No
I got a plan
No
To make you mine
If you rush it, I don't like it
Don't you understand?
All the good things need that effort it takes, some time
Gotta work on the seduction
If you wanna get it on
but if you think that i'm an easy catch
you're dead wrong
Patience ain't a friend of mine
You and me, only one night
If you wash it boy, let it dry, let it dry
I got the recipe
Gotta cook it slowly
See I'm your remedy
If you want to succeed
Just let the girl take the lead
Follow just for once in your life
The night is so young
(The night is so young)
The stars are so bright
(The stars are so bright)(Just Wait)
(Yeah... the way that we dance)
X-ray I can see your insides
Turn around girl, let me see your backside
Stop
I'm tryin' to be good, I'm tryin' to be good
Ok, you good. I'm gonna be the bad man
Steal your heart, in the middle of the night and
with axe man hits to the next man
Shaki threw the mic then hips in the max man
uh uh what I gotta do
Gotta work on the seduction
If you wanna get it on
but if you think that i'm an easy catch
you're dead wrong
Gotta work on the seduction
If you wanna get it on
but if you think that i'm an easy catch
you're dead wrong
Oh, this is the place I've dreamt
For we both
This is the place, I dreamt, my love
Dance, I said
ahh ahh ah
ahh ahh
Dance, I say
