Lime Lyrics

(Denis LePage)

Hey, baby, I like your style
'Cause I dig the way you move
When you're dancin' up the aisle
I'm lookin' at you and nobody else
'Cause I dig the way you move
And I like the way you dress

(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause it's alright every night
You called my name 'cause it's part of the game
I said it's alright every night
You called my name 'cause it's part of the game
Yeah

Hey, baby, you make me wild
'Cause I dig the way you move
When you're dancin' up the aisle
I'm mysticized by the power you possess
'Cause I dig the way you move
And I love the way you dress

(Repeat Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus 1)
Take it up
Ha, ha, baby
Don't you wanna take it up?
Take it down
Ha, ha, baby
Don't you wanna take it down?

Don't stop, baby, make it last for a while
'Cause I dig the way you move
When you're dancin' up the aisle
I need you, baby, and your sweetfulness
'Cause I dig the way you move
And I love the way you dress

(Repeat Pre-Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus 1)

(Chorus 2)
Heat it up
Ha, ha, baby
Don't you wanna heat it up?
Bring it down
Ha, ha, baby
Don't you wanna bring it down?





(Repeat Chorus 1 & 2 and Fade)

@@sourasalime9113 I thought they were a v-pop group, it's a v-pop song.

@sourasalime9113

@@my-zf1qw They were originally a Vietnamese group who would have activities in Korea which is kind of why they're a K-pop group. This song is in Vietnamese but is actually a K-pop song considering it's produced by the K-pop company RBW.
