Turn It Up
R. Kelly Feat. Wisin & Yandell Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh
The beginning of a catchy and upbeat song

Burn it up
Encouragement to make the party even hotter

Girl make it hot like the roof is on fire
Asking the girl to dance sensually and with a lot of energy

Girl the way you dance you are my one desire
The girl's dancing is so enticing that the singer can't take his eyes off of her

Come on
Further encouragement to keep dancing and having fun

So hot you're one fire (come on!) [Repeat x7]
The girl's energy is so high that it feels like the party is on fire

When you roll it
When the girl moves her body in a certain way

I can't control it
The singer is so drawn to the girl's dancing that he can't contain himself

And when you throw it
When the girl adds a certain move to her dancing

It's hard to catch it
The move is so impressive that it's hard to keep up with it

And when you shake it
When the girl moves her body in a certain fluid way

I pray you don't break it
The singer hopes that the girl won't injure herself with her dance moves

And when you drop it
When the girl does a certain drop move

Girl I cannot take it
The girl's dancing is so impressive that the singer is overcome with emotion

Something about the way you move (hey!)
The girl's dancing is so captivating that the singer can't help but comment

Sweat is dripping all over you (hey!)
The girl is dancing with so much energy that she's sweating profusely

The way you let the beat take over you (hey!)
The girl is completely lost in the rhythm and is dancing with abandon

Baby don't stop keep it going make it hot (hey)
Encouragement to keep the party going and the temperature rising

The way you put your back in motion (mama)
The girl's movements with her back are especially alluring to the singer

Oh I love you the way you freakin' it (mama)
The singer is expressing his admiration and attraction for the girl's dancing

You got me comin' out of VIP (mama)
The girl is so captivating that the singer can't stay in the VIP section and has to get closer

Cause you look like the girl in my dreams (mama)
The girl is so perfect that she's like someone the singer has imagined

I step up in the club first thing I see is you freakin' it
The singer is immediately drawn to the girl's dancing when he enters the club

Your eyes and body language tells me you want me to hit it
The singer is reading the girl's signs and thinks she's interested in him

Well I say girl
The singer is now addressing the girl directly

Back that thing up to me
The girl is asked to dance closer and more sensually

Closer (oh)
Encouragement to dance even closer

A little closer (work it)
Further encouragement to dance closer and with more intensity

Come on and shake it on me now (work it)
Encouragement to keep dancing and moving sensually

Come on and work it on me now (work it)
Encouragement to intensify the dancing and make it more seductive

Girl it's getting heated now (work it)
The party is heating up and getting more intense

It's time to put this club on fire now
The party needs to be even more intense and fiery
