Konvict

Kat DeLuna and Akon

Mmm, yeah

Red one convict

Yeah

Am I dreaming?

I'm not like all those other guys

Have you believing

It's to good to be true

And they come smothered in lies

Oh so decieving

Leaving you black and blue

See I'm show you

And get to know you

So girl,

Let me do what I do

And get it fooi?

A hundred fooi?

And make sure you

Feeling brand new

I know you never had a brother

Like me that was on another level

Squeezing you like you like it

Never hold back and never settle

Have your body trembling

Got you burning up like a kettle

Before you know it

We'll be sleeping

And dreaming this forever

Can you feel it

I kiss you so

You know it's real

I can see it

That beautiful body

And that sex appeal

(Am I dreaming)

I know you wonder

If this real

Never go back to the

Thing that use

To give you something

You can feel

And when we kissed under the moon

Am I dreaming...

He showed me things I never knew

Am I dreaming...

He know exactly what to do

Am I dreaming...

Am I dreaming...

Am I...

Am I... dreeeeaming

(Oeh, girl you're not dreaming)

Am I... dreeeeaming

(I can show you baby

That you're not dreaming)

Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

Got my heart up in this dance

What a beautiful man

That batchata as we rock on the set

Put his hand over my hips

Started looking at his lips

I'm the luckiest girl in the land

And I can't believe the way you

Got me feeling right

I don't wanna leave this place

Stay right by my side

But in my head I never thought

I could fall in love with you...

And when we kissed under the moon

Am I dreaming...

He showed me things I never knew

Am I dreaming...

He know exactly what to do

Am I dreaming...

Am I dreaming...

Am I...

Am I... dreeeeaming

(Oeh, girl you're not dreaming)

Am I... dreeeeaming

(I can show you baby

That you're not dreaming)

Baby wish

We never left the floor, I don't know

Don't wanna be alone anymore

We have something mesured out, I don't know

Are you real, am I dreaming...

The way you shake it to the right

And shake it to the left

Now and I would into the keep you

Dreaming like this

The way you shake it to the right

And shake it to the left

Now and I would into the keep you

Dreaming like this

Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh oh

Oh eh oh eh, oh ah

Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh oh

Oh eh oh eh, oh ah

And when we kissed under the moon

Am I dreaming...

He showed me things I never knew

Am I dreaming...

He know exactly what to do

Am I dreaming...

Am I dreaming...

Am I...

Am I... dreeeeaming

(Oeh, girl you're not dreaming)

Am I... dreeeeaming

(I can show you baby

That you're not dreaming)
