Wind It Up
Stefani Gwen Lyrics

High on the hills with the lonely goatherd
Stefani is on a hill with a lonely goatherd

Lay-od-lay-od-lay-he-hoo
The goatherd yodels back to Stefani

He yodelled back with the girl and goatherd
The goatherd yodels back to Stefani and a girl

Lay-od-lay-od-low
Yodeling continues

Wind it up
Stefani asks her listeners to 'Wind it up'

This is the key that makes us wind up
The beat in the music is the reason Stefani and her listeners 'wind up'

When the beat comes on, the girls all line up
When the beat starts, the girls start dancing to the rhythm

And the boys all look, but no, they can't touch
Boys start to watch but can't interfere with the girl's dance

But the girls want to know why boys like us so much
Girls are curious as to why boys are attracted towards them

They like way we dance, they like the way we work
Boys like the way girls dance

They like the way that L.A.M.B. is going 'cross my shirt
Boys like the logo of L.A.M.B. that is on Stefani's shirt

They like the way my pants, it compliments my shape (she's crazy, right?)
Boys like the way Stefani's pants make her look good

They like the way we react every time we hear the
Boys like the way girls react to the music

Every time the bass bangs, realize it calls your name
When the bass hits, it pumps up the listener

Let the beat wind you up, and don't stop 'til your time is up
Let the music energize you and don't stop dancing until the end

(Get in line now)
Stefani tells the listeners to get in line.

You've got to let the beat get under your skin
You need to let the music become a part of you.

You've got to open up and let it all in
You need to open yourself up to the music

But see, once it gets in, the popping begins
Once the music sets in, dancing begins

Then you find out why all the boys stare
After hearing the music, you will know why the boys stare

See, they're trying to bite our style
Boys try to copy and learn the girl's way of dancing

Trying to study our approach
Boys are trying to learn the girl's way of dancing

They like the way we do it, so original
Boys like the originality of the girl's style

I guess that they are slow, so they should leave the room
Boys are slow in learning the dance, so they shouldn't stay and learn

This beat is for the clubs and cars that go
The song is for the clubs and cars that move on beats of the music

(Uh huh) this is your moment
This is your time to shine

(Uh huh) come on girl, you know you own it
You know that you own this moment

(Uh huh) you know your key is still tick-tocking
The key to your dance is still ticking

(Hell yeah) but you know they're watching
People are watching you dance

Get it girl, get it, get it girl
Stefani encourages the girl to dance better

To the front, to the side, to the back, but don't let him ride
Dance everywhere but don't let anyone interfere with your dance

Keep going girl, it's your night
Just keep dancing it is your night

Don't let him steal your light
Don't let anyone steal your limelight

I know he thinks you're fine and stuff
Boys think you are attractive

But does he know how to wind you up? (c'mon)
Can he dance with you with the same energy?

Yodelay, yodelay, yodelay, hey!
