Wa -oh

Ow -ow -ow -ow -ow

She likes to party
She barely knows me

I'm gonna take her home tonight
She's looking lovely
Shut up and show me
I will never let her outta my sight
Now we're dancing really slowly
Darling would you hold me
We're dancing really slowly
Out in the rain
We're dancing really slowly
Darling would you hold me
We're dancing really slowly
Out in the rain

I'm the type of boy
That she needs
She's the type of girl
Out of a magazine
Shake shake shake your body
Show me how you break it down
Shake shake shake your body
Show me how you break it down

I'm the type of boy
That she needs
She's the type of girl
Out of a magazine
Shake shake shake your body
Show me how you break it down
Shake shake shake your body
Show me how you break it down

Just show me how you break it down
Show me how you break it down
(Show me how you break it down down)

I love your body
She's acting naughty
It's a crime
If that girl isn't mine
She'll drive you crazy
But she's my baby
Oh I can't get her off of my mind

Now we're dancing really slowly
Darling would you hold me
We're dancing really slowly
Out in the rain
We're dancing really slowly
Darling would you hold me
We're dancing really slowly
Out in the rain

I'm the type of boy
That she needs
She's the type of girl
Out of a magazine
Shake shake shake your body
Show me how you break it down
Shake shake shake your body
Show me how you break it down

She said
Shut up and kiss me tonight
Well alright
She said
Shut up and kiss me tonight
She said
Shut up and kiss me tonight
Well alright
She said
Shut up and kiss me tonight

Wa -oh
