Dua Lipa DaBaby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Billboard Baby, Dua Lipa make 'em dance when it come on
Everybody lookin' for a dance floor to run on

If you wanna run away with me, I know a galaxy
And I can take you for a ride
I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm
Where the music don't stop for life
Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes
Shining just the way I like
If you're feeling like you need a little bit of company
You met me at the perfect time

You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating

I'm one of the greatest, ain't no debatin' on it (let's go)
I'm still levitating, I'm heavily medicated
Ironic, I gave 'em love, and they end up hatin' on me
She told me love me, and she been waitin'
Fightin' hard for your love, and I'm runnin' thin on my patience
Needin' someone to hug, even took it back to the basics
You see what you got me out here doin'? (Yeah)
Might've threw me off, but can't nobody stop the movement
(Uh-uh) let's go
Left foot, right foot, levitatin' (c'mon)
Pop stars, Dua Lipa with DaBaby
I had to lace my shoes for all the blessings I was chasin' (go)
If I ever slip, I'll fall into a better situation
So catch up, go put some cheese on it, get out and get your bread up
They always leave when you fall, but you run together (hey)
Weight of the world on my shoulders, I kept my head up
Now baby, stand up, 'cause girl, you

You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating

You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm levitating
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (oh)

My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off
And I'm feeling so electric, dance my ass off
And even if I wanted to, I can't stop
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My love is like a rocket, watch it blast off
And I'm feeling so electric, dance my ass off
And even if I wanted to, I can't stop
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night (all night), come on, dance with me
I'm levitating (woo)

You can fly away with me tonight (tonight)
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm levitating
You can fly away with me tonight (tonight)
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (let me take you for a ride)

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight




I need you all night, come on, dance with me
I'm levitating
