Take It Off
Go D.A.V Lyrics

Hey, 2000 what
Addressing the year 2000 and asking what's going on

(5.4.3) (5.3) take off take off
Counting down and asking everyone to take off

Take 5 baby
Asking for some time to shake it off

We wanna see you shake it baby
Requesting the audience to shake their body

2000 what baby
Asking again what's going on in the year 2000

We wanna see you shake it baby
Re-emphasizing the desire to see everyone shaking their body

So Shake it off
Encouraging everyone to shake off their worries

Chillin' in the club
Relaxing in the club

Got my boys with me
Being accompanied by friends

And the party's all jumpin' in the VIP
The VIP area is full of partygoers

D-J's playin' my favorite beat and I'm havin' a good time baby
Enjoying the music played by the DJ

Look across the room, what did I see?
Spotting someone attractive across the room

A really fine girl who needs to leave with me.
Expressing interest in the attractive girl and wanting her to come with him

She was burnin' up the place
She was the center of attention

She was shakin' and shakin'
She was dancing provocatively

She was so fine so fine
Commenting on the girl's attractiveness

It took me 5 months
Describing how long it took to get to know the girl

Just to get to know your name
Emphasizing the effort to learn the girl's name

5 weeks
Describing how long it took to show the girl he's serious

To show you I ain't playin' games
Expressing that he's serious about her and not playing games

5 days
Describing how long it took for her to allow him to call her

For you to even let me call over to your house babe
Implying that she was hesitant to give him her phone number

5 hours
Describing how long he begged over the phone

On the phone beggin' you
Emphasizing how much he wanted to speak with her

5 minutes
Describing the short time it took for them to kiss

Now I'm here kissin' you
Recalling the moment they first kissed

5 seconds
Describing how quickly she got him dancing

You got me in a shakin' mood
Expressing how she made him feel energetic

Now is the time
Implying that they should enjoy the moment

Somebody better
Urging someone to start shaking off their worries

Shake it off
Encouraging everyone to shake off their worries

I know you wanna
Asserting that everyone wants to shake off their worries

So Shake it off
Encouraging everyone again to shake off their worries

Oh baby please
Asking someone to shake it off

Now that we're alone
Emphasizing the intimacy of the moment

Come show me how
Asking the girl to show him how to dance

I really wanna learn
Expressing interest in learning to dance

How you get down
Asking how she dances

Don't make me wait
Urging her to start dancing soon

Girl I'm ready now
Expressing readiness to dance

Let's get busy one time
Proposing to dance together

Start shakin that body
Encouraging her to start dancing

From left to right
Describing the direction of the dance move

Didn't even get tired
Implying that he danced with the girl for a long time

She could do it all night
Implying that the girl can dance for a long time

This girl put it on me
Implying that the girl gives him energy to dance

Just the way I like
Commenting on the girl's dance style

I think I love her
Expressing romantic interest in the girl

I want her
Reiterating that he's interested in the girl

I've never been the type
Acknowledging that he's not the type to fall in love quickly

To fall in love from sight
Expressing that he's not easily attracted to someone just by their appearance

But seein' you is like
Implying that he's deeply attracted to the girl

A riot in my life
Comparing his attraction to the girl to a riot

Now you took control of me oh
Emphasizing that the girl has control over him

The heart and soul of me eh
Referring to the girl as the heart and soul of his life

Now you got a hold of me
Reiterating that the girl has control over him

Now I can shake it down
Expressing that he can now dance with her

Who wanna dance right now?
Asking if anyone wants to dance immediately

Put your hands up uh c'mon
Encouraging people to raise their hands and dance

Put your hands up what c'mon
Asking for people to raise their hands and dance

Throw yo hands up high what uh
Asking people to raise their hands higher

Wave from side to side
Encouraging people to wave their hands side to side

C'mon let's do it again
Asking to repeat the dance steps

Oh Shake it off
Encouraging people again to shake off their worries
