Don't Stop the Music
Rihanna Lyrics

Who knew, that you'd be up in here looking like you do
You're makin' staying over here impossible
Baby, I'm a say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go, don't

Do you know what you started? I just came here to party
But now we're rockin' on the dance floor, actin' naughty
Your hands around my waist just let the music play
We're hand in hand, chest to chest, and now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music
DJ, let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music
DJ, let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

Baby, are you ready 'cause it's gettin' cold
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode?
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show

Do you know what you started? I just came here to party
But now we're rockin' on the dance floor, actin' naughty
Your hands around my waist just let the music play
We're hand in hand, chest to chest, and now we're face to face

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music
DJ, let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music
DJ, let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

Please don't stop the music

Please don't stop the music, music, music

Please don't stop the music, music, music

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music
DJ, let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music
DJ, let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

Please don't stop the music

Please don't stop the music, music, music

Please don't stop the music, music, music, music, music, music, music

When this song Came out ...
...youtube still had a 5 star rating system...
...the world was looking forward to the Olymic games in Beijing...
...Myspace was still relevant...
...there were less then 7 billion people in the world...
...the original iPhone had not been announced yet...
...the video game industry was looking forward to Call of Duty 4...
...motion controls were still seen as the future for video games...
...GW Bush was the president of the US...
...Twitter had started less the a year before...
...the youtube channel of PewDiePie did not exist...
...you were not feeling as old as you do now after reading these.

For clarity: Michael Jackson is credited as songwriter because the song use the "Mama-se, mama-sa, mama-koosa" hook from "Wanna Be Startin' Something" as the background vocals in the chorus. Jackson didn't never collaborate with Rihanna, she only requested the sample use to him

@Solenne-Eliya Solenne-Eliya BTW Dibango's chant has no melody, it's the repeat of the same note while MJ's version has a melody and the words are not the same either: Dibango's is mamako mamasa mako mako sa. MJ's version is mamasay mamasa mamakussa. The sound similar but not the same. Why do you think Dibango didn't sue MJ until 2007 when Rihanna used MJ's version of the chant in her song? Because MJ used the chant legally for his own song. Dibango sued him for transferring the rights to Rihanna not for using the chant

@Sayebehi Bayoro And did Quincy agree to produce songs that according to him were stolen? Lol You are a fan of MJ but believe Quincy's words that he waited for Ray Charles to die to defame him, just like he did with Michael. It was Quincy who didn't want to credit a musician who helped Michael with the song "we are the world" because he was unknown, unlike Michael who wanted to credit him. Many people who worked with Michael in the studio for the Bad album have already talked about how much Quincy didn't credit them, why do you think Michael fired him after that album?

Quincy was the one who used to steal credits for songs that Michael produced with other people. And this is the same Quincy who claimed that the Beatles were the worst musicians in history Lol He even lost a lawsuit to MJ's estate this year. MJ never lost a courtcase for stealing songs, which means he never actually stole any song.

Sayebehi Bayoro

Well,MJ pretended he created that.But Manu Dibango sued his ass and was PAID. I'm a fan of MJ but come on even Quincy said he had this habit of picking other people'music.

If there is anything you might be trying to figure out, I want to remind you of Proverbs 3 that says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and mind.” We can’t say we’re trusting God if we’re worrying, reasoning, and getting confused because we can’t find the answers.

On les a étudié en cours de musique, Manu Dibango est l'auteur de makossa mais Michael Jackson l'a plagié. Manu a porté plainte, et ils ont fait un accord argent contre droits d'auteur alors Rihanna en a profité pour prendre elle aussi la musique de Manu Dibango

Natasha Benitez

why don't any of you make a CD ask the DJ too play it or buy the DJ a few drinks slip him a few bucks and give him the CD ...it is nice whenever you can figure out way...
Then the DJ will see what gets people on the 💃 floor
Or go to club's that play 80to 90's music nights...just a suggestion...DJ''s. Worst Nightmare is playing Music ANnnnnDdd Noooo ONES On The DANCE FLOOR !!
