Like That
Through the Roots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me take that pretty little hand
I'm asking you to take this dance, so come with me
I wanna break shifts on the floor with you baby
Cause you look so good
And i'm hoping that you'll never leave
Stay right here with me
Cause I can feel this music bringing you closer, closer to me
So don't stop moving, keep doing what you do
Cause i'll be watching that body, even when the music's through

I lose my mind, girl when you move like that
You bring me the life yeah, girl when you move like that
I can't trust my eyes, girl when you move like that
I shouldn't lie, I like it when you move
I like it when you move like that

Did you know that you got me there
I wanna run with you so show me what you can do
What you can do
Because the look in your eye is so dangerous
Reckless control is contaminous
I love your every move
Caught up in your groove
And every step you take, well I wanna step too

I can feel this music bringing you closer, closer to me
So don't stop moving, keep doing what you do
Cause i'll be watching that body, even when the music's through

I lose my mind, girl when you move like that
You bring me the life yeah, girl when you move like that
I can't trust my eyes, girl when you move like that
I shouldn't lie, I like it when you move
I like it when you move like that

If the music slowed down, won't you pull me in closer
I tell you right now baby, I'll be inches from you, yeah
You're like a firecracker baby
Your eyes put love this
You're like dynamite, yeah
It was up to me, I think tonight, that's my whole life

So don't stop moving, keep doing what you do
Cause i'll be watching that body, even when the music's through

I lose my mind, girl when you move like that
You bring me the life yeah, when you move like that
I can't trust my eyes, girl when you move like that




But I shouldn't lie, I like it when you move
I like it when you move like that
