For whatever reason I feel like I've been wanting you all my life You don't understand? I'm so glad we're at the same place At the same time, it's over now I spotted you dancing You made all the girls stare Those lips and your brown eyes And the sexy hair I should shake my thing I make the world want you Tell your boys you'll be back I wanna see what you can do What would it take for you to just leave with me? Not trying to sound conceited But me and you we're meant to be You're a sexy guy, I'm a nice girl (don't you know?) Let's turn this dance floor into our own little nasty world Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one (you know I need you) Boys, to love her and to hold (I just want you to touch me) Boys, and when a girl is with one Boys, then she's in control Took the boy off the dance floor Screaming in his ear Must have said something 'bout me (what you say?) Because he's looking over here You looking at me with a sexy attitude But the way your boys moving it It puts me in the mood What would it take for you to just leave with me? Not trying to sound conceited But me and you were meant to be (don't you know? You're a sexy guy, I'm a nice girl (don't you know?) Let's turn this dance floor into our own little nasty world Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one (I get nasty) Boys, to love her and to hold (I get nasty) Boys, and when a girl is with one (I get nasty) Boys, then she's in control (You like that? Here we go) Tonight, let's fly, boy have no fear (have no fear) There's no time to lose (What are you waiting for?) And next week, you may not see me here So, boy, just make your move (let me see what you can do) Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one Boys, to love her and to hold (the way you move) Boys, and when a girl is with one Boys, then she's in control Come with me, let's fly into the night Oh boy, tonight is ours (It's just you and me, baby) When hugging me, make sure you hold me tight Let's head for the stars Get nasty, oh Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one Boys, to love her and to hold (Get nasty) Boys, and when a girl is with one (Get nasty) Boys, then she's in control Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
