Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She pulled me in so easily, right from the start

She played me like I was a melody

One bang on the drum, and she funks me with her sweet kiss

She's touchin' me with lover's caress, no, I can't fight it

She's got my soul, she's captured me

Holds me hostage when I hear that beat

I won't take these shackles off my feet

'Cause they're the only thing that make me feel free, that's why

[Verse 2]

I'm a slave to the music

No, I won't stop until my heart pops

I'm a slave to the music

No, I won't give in till I stop breathin'

[Verse 3]

She got me rockin', she got me movin', she got me dancin'

She got me rockin', she got me movin', she got me dancin'

I don't wanna be saved, slave to the music

I don't wanna be saved, I'm a slave to the music, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]

It's 4:05 and I'm barely alive

But keep on givin', it's the only way to survive

But I can't help but shuffle my feet

Movin' like a zombie, chasin' the beat

She lures me in, oh, sweet surrender

Locks me down like a repeat offender

I won't take these shackles off my feet

'Cause they're the only thing that make me feel free, that's why

[Verse 5]

I'm a slave to the music

No, I won't stop until my heart pops

I'm a slave to the music

No, I won't give in till I stop breathin'

[Verse 6]

She got me rockin', she got me movin', she got me dancin'

She got me rockin', she got me movin', she got me dancin'

I don't wanna be saved, I-I'm a slave to the music

I don't wanna be saved, no, no, no, I'm a slave to the music, yeah

[Verse 7]

You feel it with me, put your hands out, yeah

Feel it with me, put your hands out, yeah

Arms up, put your hands out

Ah, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

You feel like a zombie, shout it out now

You feel like a zombie, shout it out now

Zigga, zigga, zigga, zigga, zigga, zigga

Yeah, yeah, ooh, hoo

[Verse 8]

She got me rockin', she got me movin', she got me dancin' (She got me dancin')

She got me rockin', she got me movin', she got me dancin' (Oh, no, no)

She got me rockin', she got me movin', she got me dancin' (Ah, ha, yeah)

She got me rockin', she got me movin', she got me dancin'

[Verse 9]

I don't wanna be saved (She got me, she got me)

I'm a, I'm a slave to the music, yeah (I'm a slave to the music, yeah)

I'm a slave to the music, yeah, yeah (She got me, she got me)

(She got me rockin', she got me movin', slave to the music)

I'm a, I'm a slave to the music, yeah

(She got me rockin', she got me movin')

I'm a slave to the music, yeah, yeah

Oh, no, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't want to be saved, nah
