1, 2, 3, let's do it
Oh, oh, oh
Let's do it
Oh, oh, oh

Listen up, I got a secret, my flaws are beautiful
I'm way beyond average, I don't catch the common cold
The bar I set is unreachable to you

See I'm not your average girl at the party, party
It's just me and the dance floor at the party, party

Hey, show me what you got
I make my move, you make your move, so go
'Cause tonight I'm green, go, go, go, go
I-i-it's just me and the dance floor 'cause tonight I'm green

Look at me, look at me, look at me, ain't I pretty?
Me and the dance floor gettin' it and ain't this thing ridiculous?
Look at me, look at me, look at me, ain't I pretty?
Me and the dance floor gettin' it and ain't this thing ridiculous?

You can tell it ain't a secret, I'm green so I'ma glow
When even when I'm wrong I'm still dead on
And I'm a straight up kinda girl in confidence, yeah

See I'm not your average girl at the party, party
It's just me and the dance floor at the party, party

Hey, show me what you got
