Rock it

You're my nicotine, I'm your dirty teen

You're my girl, you are my reason to believe

You're my ecstasy, I'm your remedy

You're the one I like, my reason to believe

Rock it

Get in the groove

Rock it

Just whip it good

So your body can move

Everybody, let loose

Rock it

Get in the groove

Rock it

Just whip it good

So your body can move

Everybody, let loose

Woo

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro

Woo

You're my lovely queen, I'm your dirty king

You're my girl, you are my reason to believe

I'm your sweet lucky, you're my guillotine

You're the one I like, my reason to believe

Rock it

Get in the groove

Rock it

Just whip it good

So your body can move

Everybody, let loose

Rock it

Get in the groove

Rock it

Just whip it good

So your body can move

Everybody, let loose

Woo

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro

Get in the groove

Just whip it good

So your body can move

Everybody, let loose

Get in the groove

Just whip it good

So your body can move

Everybody, let loose
