I can do it better than, better than you
Better than, better than you

I can tell that you're watching me
And I know you're loving everything that you see
The way I gotcha going crazy
I'll make you wanna dance with me
And I been walking 'round like I just don't care
Got everybody lookin' like I'm a true player
So what's up? so what's up?

I see you staring but I ain't mad at that
I know you do you, and I do me right back
