NSync/Nelly Lyrics

Let's go oh
Opening the song with an enthusiastic call to start.

Baby show something
Asking the woman to dance seductively and attractively.

Don't say nothing (don't you say a word)
Asking the woman to express herself through her dance moves without using words.

I just want to see you work it (come on baby work it for me)
Expressing the desire to see the woman dance sensually for the singer.

That ain't fronting
Assuring the woman that the request to dance seductively is genuine and not insincere.

Show me something (let me see it girl)
Requesting the woman to display her sensual dance moves.

I just try to see you work it (I just wanna see you work it for me yeah)

I heard her talking loud

Go ahead yo man ain't coming

You talking to me, like you talking to an adolescence

Come off come off

Let you waist pop

When them place not
Asking why some places don't promote sexual energy in the same way as the woman's.

I rather watch to the top of snow clock
Saying that he'd rather watch the woman dance seductively than do anything else, even watching snow fall from a clock.

Can't even tell the time
Implying that he's too focused on the woman's dancing to pay attention to anything else, including the time.

But you know it's mine
Asserting ownership or control over the situation, potentially including the woman herself.

What time is ma, it's 20 Karets, after nine

Get up and take a stance
Encouraging the woman to show off her dance moves with confidence and assertiveness.

She got me hypnotize
