Show you off, tonight I wanna show you off

(aye-aye-aye)

What you got, a billion could've never bought (oooh)

We gonna party like it's 3012 tonight

I wanna show you all the finer things in life

So just forget about the world, we're young tonight

I'm coming for ya, I'm coming for ya

'Cause all I need

Is a beauty and a beat

Who can make my life complete

It's all 'bout you

When the music makes you move

Baby do it like you do (yeah)

Body rock

I wanna see your body rock (aye-aye-aye)

Take a bow

You on the hottest ticket now (yeah)

We gonna party like it's 3012 tonight

I wanna show you all the finer things in life

So just forget about the world, we're young tonight

I'm coming for ya, I'm coming for ya

'Cause all I need

Is a beauty and a beat

Who can make my life complete

It's all 'bout you

When the music makes you move

Baby do it like you do

Body rock

I wanna see your body rock

Body rock

I wanna see your body rock

'Cause all I need

Is a beauty and a beat

Who can make my life complete

It's all 'bout you

When the music makes you move

Baby do it like you do (yeah)
