(One, two, three, four)
Look around, you should be
Should be dancing, dance with me
Bottom line, always in time
So I’ma say what’s, on my mind

I just want you to know
That you’re so so beautiful

Ooh ooh ooh baby I just wanna be with you-ooh-ooh
I don’t care if nobody approve-ooh-ooves
Tell me what I got to do to prove tonight
I might be the one, girl

Ooh ooh ooh baby I just wanna be with you-ooh-ooh
I don’t care if nobody approve-ooh-ooves
Tell me what I got to do to prove tonight
I might be the one, girl

Though I’m caught in the moment the moment, you know
That you want me to own it, to own it, let’s go (oh oh oh)

And I need you to know
That you’re so so beautiful

Ooh ooh ooh baby I just wanna be with you-ooh-ooh
I don’t care if nobody approve-ooh-ooves

There ain’t no question about it, I’m sayin’
It’s you that I want (want)
