Justin, grr!

Show you off

Tonight I wanna show you off

Ay, ay, ay

What you've got

A billion could've never bought

Ay, ay, ay

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

'Cause all-

Body rock

Girl, I can feel your body rock

Ay, ay, ay

Take a bow

You're on the hottest ticket now, oh

Ay, ay, ay

We gonna party like it's 3012 tonight

I want to 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 (uh)

'Cause all- (uh)

In time, ink lines, bitches couldn't get on my incline

World tours, it's mine, ten little letters on a big sign

Justin Bieber, you know I'ma hit 'em with the ether

Buns out, wiener, but I gotta keep an eye out for Selena

Beauty, beauty and the beast

Beauty from the East, beautiful confessions of the priest

Beast, beauty from the streets, beat will get deceased

Every time beauty on the beat eats

Body rock (yeah, yeah)

Oh, I wanna feel your body rock (yeah, let's go, let's go)

'Cause all (all I need is love) I need is a beauty and a beat

Who can make my life complete (oh)

It's all (all I needed to) 'bout you when the music makes you move

Baby, do it like you do

'Cause all-
