Gon' get up and shake your body (shake it)
Come on, take me there 'cause

Ain't nobody else like you
Only you got the moves you do
Ain't nobody else move like you
Only you got the groves to prove it, baby
We're gonna have a good time

I see you against the wall, boy

I want you to take control now (take it)
Get up on the floor (get up now)

If you feel like I feel, you can get it tonight
But first you gotta make me say

The hit that got away. This should’ve been one of her biggest songs ever. It’s SO GOOD and had such a throwback vibe. Was so perfect for the time and the video is so much fun.

Honeycomblife

A good remix with a different instrumental would of worked !

What I love about this song is that it makes me think of Michael. Really can feel his influence. Love it.

Sensual, elegant and classy all down the line, and keeps her clothes on! How refreshing to see a REAL WOMAN respect herself and all the rest of us, too! Great song and beat, too, of course. It's Miss Janet!
