Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I do know that I love you
You walk around this town
With your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want you
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
You tease me with your loving to play hard to get
'Cause you do know that I want you
You walk around this town
With your head all up in the sky
And you do know that I want you
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Shake it all down
You're the spark that lit the fire inside of me
And you do know that I love it
I need to do just something to get closer to your soul
And you do know that I want you
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake your body down to the ground

My life will never be the same
'Cause girl, you came and changed
The way I walk
The way I talk
I cannot explain these things I feel for you
But girl, you know it's true
Stay with me, fulfill my dreams
And I'll be all you'll need (oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh)
It feels so right (girl)
I've searched for the perfect love all my life (all my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, it feels like I (like I)
Have finally found her perfect love is mine (see)
And I finally found, come on, girl
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give (you rocked my world)
The rarest love who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine (you rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did (girl)
And everything I own I give (come on, girl)
The rarest love who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
In time I knew that love would bring
This happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I waited patiently
Girl, you know it seems
My life is so complete
A love that's true because of you
Keep doing what you do (oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh)
Who'd think that I (oh)
Finally found the perfect love
I searched for all my life? (Searched for all my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who'd think I'd find (whoa oh oh)
