Baby let me move you
Ooh baby let move you
Baby let me move
Ooh baby let move you
You know you're lookin' so good there mama
Ow baby let me move you

With your pretty fine self

You know you're lookin' so good

You know you're lookin' so good, mama
Have you ever been moved

Baby let me move you
Early in the morning

Oh baby let me move you
Anytime, anywhere, anyhow

I don't care, I don't mind
I don't matter how you let me move you
Come baby, ow

Come on little girl
Take me, take me by my hand
Come on, come on and tell me

Good God almighty, let me move you
Little girl, come on let me move you
Let me move you
Got your body, I just wanna move you

If I don't live another day
I just wanna move you, little girl today
