Says she wants to dance to a different groove You look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin' She thinks your kinda cute so she winks backĪnd now your feelin' really firm 'cause the girl is stacked The bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking So you start thinkin' then you start blinking The bride walks down just to start the weddingĪnd there's one more girl you won't be getting 'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best manĪnd roll to the church in your new tuxedo He's hopin' you can make it there if you can Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry You want it, baby you got it (Break it down for me fellas) So on the beach you're strollin' real high rollin'Įverything you have is yours and not stolen So a brother with the money can be their man They're lyin' on a beach perpetrating a tan Lookin' for a man makes them opportunistic They want the man who brings home the bacon Then you try to make a move and she says, "No way" You want it, baby you got it (Just bust a move) You run over there without a second to lose She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello, Then ya spot a fine woman sittin' in your row So don't hang yourself, with a celibate ropeĬould care less about the five you're blowin' Is to become a monk and leave the situationīut every dark tunnel has a light of hope

Says she wants to dance cause she likes to groove

Food is served and you're stone-cold munchin'īut then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
