Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well baby me and all my girls are bringin' on the fire
Show a little leg, gotta shimmy your chest
It's a life, it's a style, it's a need, it's Burlesque
E-X-P-R-E-S-S, love, sex
Ladies no regrets
E-X-P-R-E-S-S, love, sex
Been holdin' back for quite some time and finally the moment's right
I love to make the people stare
They know I got that certain savoir-faire
Fasten up
Can you imagine what would happen if I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy
You'll never want to leave, baby it's guarantee
Why?
It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, Burlesque
It'll move you, goin' through you, so do what I do, Burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's Burlesque.
I tease 'em 'til they're on the edge
They screamin' more for more and more they beg
I know it's me they come to see
My pleasure brings them to their knees
Fasten up
Can you imagine what would happen if I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy
You'll never want to leave, baby let's give it to you
Why?
It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, Burlesque
It'll move you, goin' through you, so do what I do, Burlesque
All ladies, confident, flaunt it
Boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's Burlesque.
(Woo, dance break!)
It's a passion, and emotion, it's a fashion, Burlesque
It'll move you, goin' through you, so do what I do, Burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It's Burlesque.
