one night
Calvin Mackenzie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

I'm on the prowl, I can't stop now
This Beat is banging, she's got the crowd
Look at her move, the way she grooves
I got to have her, that's what I do (cause)

She had her hair done, she dress so fine
She's looking at me, I'm gonna make her mine
We popping bottles, we getting down
I love that sound, she drop it down

All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, one one one night

She's taking over, the boss indeed
A perfect ten, you got what I need
Look at her dance, the way she stands
I got to have her, according to the plans

Girl get down, get get get get down
Girl get down, I love it, I love it
Girl get down, get get get get down
Girl get down, I love it, I love it

She had her hair done, she dress so fine
She's looking at me, I'm gonna make her mine
We popping bottles, we getting down
I love that sound, she drop it down

All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, one one one night

Girl, (G G G G G G G Girl)
Girl, (G G G G G G G Girl)

Girl get down, get get get get down
Girl get down, I love it, I love it
Girl get down, get get get get down
Girl get down, I love it, I love it

She had her hair done, she dress so fine
She's looking at me, I'm gonna make her mine
We popping bottles, we getting down
I love that sound, she drop it down

All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, with you girl
All I want is one night, one one one night





Girl, (G G G G G G G Girl)
