Breakdown
(Are you looking for a breakdown?)
Shakedown
(Maybe a shakedown baby)
If you're looking for a breakdown
If you're looking for a shakedown

I can feel it in the air tonight and it feels all right
Didn't see it comin'
And it's something that I can't deny
It takes me high

But I know that I'm not afraid
Not gonna hide away
I feel alive, tonight
Oh, yeah, yeah

If you're looking for a breakdown
Where the kicks are comin' for free
Where the mood is right and the beats are tight
You can kick it with me

If you're looking for a shakedown
Where the mix is on the money
You know, I know
That you can kick it with me

Everybody howdy howdy
Shake your booty, move your body
Everybody make it rowdy
That you can kick it with me

Hey girl, I can see it to that you're feelin' rude
Are you comin'?
'Cause you know that I aim to please
That's the way it is, yeah

Swing your fine self around to me
And I'll make you see
I feel alive, tonight, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah

If you're looking for a breakdown
Where the kicks are comin' for free
Where the mood is right and the beats are tight
You can kick it with me

If you're looking for a shakedown
Where the mix is on the money
You know, I know
That you can kick it with me

Everybody howdy howdy
Shake your booty, move your body
Everybody make it rowdy
That you can kick it with me

Everybody howdy howdy
Shake your booty, move your body
Everybody make it rowdy
That you can kick it with me

Baby, can we get up on it?
Better tell me, do you want it?
Baby, can we get up on it?

If you're looking for a breakdown
Where the kicks are comin' for free
Where the mood is right and the beats are tight
You can kick it with me
