Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, yeah, uh, ow
Uh, yeah, get up, get up, get up (ladies and gentlemen, Ciara)

He said "Hi, my name is so and so baby, can you tell me yours?
You look like you came to do one thing" (set it off)
I started on the left
Then I had to take him to the right
He was out of breath
But he kept on dancin' all night

You tryin', admit it
But you just can fight the feelin' inside
You know it and I can see it in your eyes
You want me you smooth as a mother
You're so undercover
By the way that you was watchin' me

Ooh, uh the way you look at me
I'm feelin' you, uh I just can't help it
Tryna keep it cool, uh
I can feel it in the beat, uh
When you do those things to me, uh
Don't let nothin' stop you
Move, ring the alarm
The club is jumpin' now, so get up

I said, "Ciara's on you radio
Everybody turn it up"
Spicy just like hot sauce
Careful, you might burn it up
You can do the pop lock
Ragtime, don't stop
That's the way you gotta get
Get it, make ya body rock

You tryin', admit it
But you just can fight the feelin' inside
You know it 'cause I can see it in your eyes
You want me, you smooth as a mother
You're so undercover
By the way that you was watchin' me

Ooh, uh, the way you look at me
I'm feelin' you, uh, I just can't help it
Tryna keep it cool, uh
I can feel it in the beat, uh (oh, feel it in the beat)
When you do those things to me, uh (do those things to me)
Don't let nothin' stop you (ohh)
Move, ring the alarm
The club is jumpin' now, so get up

Ooh, I love the way you vibe with me
Dance with me forever
We can have a good time, follow me (follow me)
To the beat together (to the beat)
You and me, one on one
Breakin' it down, you can't walk away now (ohh)
We bout to turn this place out (ooh)

Ooh, uh, the way you look at me
I'm feelin' you, uh, I just can't help it
Tryna keep it cool, uh
I can feel it in the beat, uh
When you do those things to me, uh
Don't let nothin' stop you
Move (move), ring the alarm
The club is jumpin' now, so get up

Ooh, uh the way you look at me (uh, I feel it, I got have you, baby)
I'm feelin' you, uh I just can't help it (uh, I feel it, I got have you, baby)
Tryna keep it cool, uh
I can feel it in the beat, uh
When you do those things to me, uh
Don't let nothin' stop you
Move, ring the alarm (somebody ring the alarm)
The club is jumpin' now, so get up

I got to have you, baby, uh, I feel it
I got to have you, baby




I got to have you, baby, uh, I feel it
I got to have you, baby
