Do do do do do

Yo,
Tell me fellas have you seen her? (seen her)
It was about five minutes ago
That young'n
Never seen before
I said yo,
Tell her girls I want to meet her (meet her)
On a second thought that ain't the way to go
I got give her game proper
Spit it so she'll get it
There she is I got to stop her
Or should I talk about her smile? (It's been said before)
Or what about her style? (Too obvious)
I'm out of time
She's out the door
I got to go for mine
I think I'll say
Yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo
I know you're tryin' to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby
Now shorty grab hold of my hand
And let's pretend the floor is ours
You say you don't really dance
Don't worry about it
We'll just one two step
One two step
Now if the music is moving too fast (too fast)
Grab my hand a little tighter (tighter)
Don't be afraid to move a little closer
Girl, there is something about you that makes me want to say
Yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo
I know you're trying to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby
I think I'll say yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo
I know you're trying to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby
I want to be where you are
Ain't nothin' wrong with dancin'
Baby you're so romantic
Baby I can be in your heart
So many things I want to tell you
I think that I should start by saying yo
I don't know your name but excuse me miss
I saw you from across the room
I got to give her game proper
Spit it so she get it
There she is, I got to stop her
I know your trying to leave but excuse me miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me oh baby
Now everybody just clap your hands like this(like this)
Just clap your hands like this(whoo like this)
And if your shorty in the house tonight
Just grab her by the hand homie
Make her understand y'all was made to dance like this(like this)
Y'all was made to bounce like this(whoa like this)
Just let her know she was made for you
And you want to do everything she want to, man
Whoo!
