Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey, baby, listen, I got this great new JT album

And if you got a turntable, maybe we can get it on (get it on, get it on)

Say no more, yeah, let's go (let's go)

You and me when we f- up the disco

Ooh, what a scene, and we both know (both know)

Top line on that body, and she feel like a hit though (hit, though)

But the grooves on it, retro (retro)

Cold, somebody get a flick, though (flick, though)

It don't make sense though, really, though (really, though)

You and me when we f- up the-

Ooh, looking like a whole scandal (scandal, scandal)

Walked in with all of that, looking like all I could handle (handle, handle)

You lookin' for worship, baby, well, hey, I got a mantle (mantle, mantle)

Got my Gucci Crocs on right now, but we can slide like sandals (slide), uh

Let me flip you like a sample

'Cause I be doing it right, I be doing it right (ooh)

You know how you get when the bass drops and your body pops (ooh)

I know how you get when you're peaking and your favorite record drops (drops)

Well, this might be one of them, and you know when the chemistry locks

When you wanna take it from the top, we can take it off the top, uh

(Ooh) all you gotta do is free your mind

And watch your body start to follow suit

So don't you try to play it cool

'Cause I know the sign when you make it wind, and I'm like (get it on)

Say no more, yeah, let's go (let's go)

You and me when we f- up the disco

Ooh, what a scene, and we both know (both know)

Top line on that body, and she feel like a hit though (hit, though)

But the grooves on it, retro (retro)

Cold, somebody get a flick, though (flick, though)

It don't make sense though, really, though (really, though)

You and me when we f- up the-

Sweat dripping when the rush feel like an attack

You a whole bag, let it all unpack

Run your nine-inch nails all over my back

Yeah, I like that, I like that (like that)

Put your cheekbones all the way into my neck

Take a bite on the side, let your tongue get wet

You the password, I'ma hit reset

That's a promise, not a threat, uh

'Cause I be doing it right, I be doing it right (ooh)

You know how you get when the bass drops and your body pops (ooh)

I know how you get when you're peaking and your favorite record drops (drops)

Well, this might be one of them, and you know when the chemistry locks

When you wanna take it from the top, we can take it off the top, uh

(Ooh) all you gotta do is free your mind

And watch your body start to follow suit

So don't you try to play it cool

'Cause I know the sign when you make it wind, and I'm like (get it on)

Say no more, yeah, let's go (let's go)

You and me when we f- up the disco

Ooh, what a scene, and we both know (both know)

Top line on that body, and she feel like a hit though (hit, though)

But the grooves on it, retro (retro)

Cold, somebody get a flick, though (flick, though)

It don't make sense though, really, though (really, though)

You and me when we f- up the disco

Disco (get it on)

You and me when we f- up the- (get it on)

Disco (get it on)

And watch your body start to follow suit

So don't you try to play it cool, don't you try to play it cool

Uh, come on, ooh, hey, yeah
