Taio Cruz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
If there's something that you want baby
We can go there, anywhere you dare
I can show you something new lady
You want it bad, and I want bad
So we can do all the things
That you want, baby
Been running around, all over town
I finally found a way to get up, baby, get up
Your body's waking up your mind mind mind for you
I'll be following the signs signs signs to you
Once I get you on my grind, it's true
I'll be working overtime, I do
Your body's waking up your mind mind mind for you
I'll be following the signs signs signs to you
Once I get you on my grind, it's true
I'll be working all the time for you, baby

Ain't no pressure, at your leisure
We can go as far that you like baby
We should explore, what we're made for
Take a ride that you've know that I'll be ready baby
