Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're getting to the sweet spot, sweet spot
Baby it's a sure shot, sure shot
We're getting to the sweet spot, sweet spot
I wanna with you, I wanna with you
I wanna with you, I wanna with you
See you dancin', see you dancin'
Now your body's movin' into my direction
My direction, my direction
Baby, what you waiting for?
You got the green light
Don't you hold back no more
Let's live our best life
So baby don't stop, don't stop
We're getting to the sweet spot, sweet spot
Baby it's a sure shot, sure shot
We're getting to the sweet spot, sweet spot
I wanna with you, I wanna with you
I wanna with you, I wanna with you
Everybody wants to leave here with somebody
Everybody, everybody
Time of night we start to dip into the candy
Give it to me, give it to me
Baby, what you waiting for?
You got the green light
Don't you hold back no more
Let's live our best life
So baby don't stop, don't stop
We're getting to the sweet spot, sweet spot
Baby it's a sure shot, sure shot
We're getting to the sweet spot, sweet spot
I wanna with you, I wanna with you
I wanna with you (yeah), I wanna with you
I wanna with you
Woo-ah!
