Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This jam is slow and it's really not you.
You try to dance but you can't find the groove
You hear the -bass- it starts to break through
This reggae music it starts to move you.

Ohhhhhh-ohhh-ohh
Once in a while

And you Dance for your friends
They got you
All the boys in the bar
They want you
Now the slow jam,
It starts to taunt you
Double that beat,
Now it's time to flaunt you.

Shake that ass, get your hands to the cielin'
I say me gusta, you know what I'm meanin'
Here comes the bass and that true reggae feelin'
It starts to Move
