Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pleasure is my thing
I wanna tell you
I'll do what you want me to
Or I do nothin' at all
[Verse 2]
I just want to be what you want me to be
Wind it up and see what you want me to be
I just want to be what you want me to be
A-get me hot and see what you want me to be
[Verse 3]
If you want me to, I'll do it
(I just want to be what you want me to be)
If you want to dance, let's get to it
(Wind it up and see what you want me to be)
Let's not take too long, let's move it
(I just want to be what you want me to be)
'Cause if you take too long, you lose it
(A-get me hot and see what you want me to be)
[Verse 4]
Who said that funk was done just by one?
Who said that it was never, ever done?
Who said the two of us couldn't groove?
It wasn't me, but maybe it was you
[Verse 5]
Music is here for everyone
(Who said that funk was done just by one?)
Just to dance, just to have some fun
(Who said that it was never, ever done?)
Just because, we did it before
(Who said the two of us couldn't groove?)
Doesn't mean we can't have some more
(It wasn't me, but maybe it was you)
[Verse 6]
I just want to be what you want me to be
Wind it up and see what you want me to be
I just want to be what you want me to be (What you want me to be)
I'll be your freaky-deak if you want me to be (if you want me to be)
[Verse 7]
(Yeah) Play my music loud, I'll do my dance for you
'Cause when the music's pumpin', it's hard to tell what we're gonna do
If you think you can, we'll dance to death all night
'Cause the pleasure I can give will make things turn out right
[Verse 8]
If you want me to, I'll do it
If you want to dance, let's get to it
Let's not take too long, let's move it
'Cause when you take too long, you lose it
[Verse 9]
Who said that funk was done just by one?
Who said that it was never, ever done?
Who said the two of us couldn't groove?
It wasn't me, but maybe it was you
[Verse 10]
Music is here for everyone
(Who said that funk was done just by one?)
Just to dance, just to have some fun
(Who said that it was never, ever done?)
Just because, we did it before
(Who said the two of us couldn't groove?)
Doesn't mean we can't have some more
(It wasn't me, but maybe it was you)
[Verse 11]
I just want to be what you want me to be
Wind it up and see what you want me to be
I just want to be what you want me to be
I'll be your freaky-deak if you want me to be
[Verse 12]
Music will make things turn out right
And I will dance til the broad daylight
Feel my body, fulfill your needs
'Cause I know you're hungry and I'm here to please
[Verse 13]
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
[Verse 14]
I just want to be what you want me to be
Wind it up and see what you want me to be
I just want to be what you want me to be
I'll be your freaky-deak if you want me to be
[Verse 15]
Who said that funk was done just by one?
Who said that it was never, ever done?
Who said the two of us couldn't groove?
It wasn't me, but maybe it was you
[Verse 16]
Music is here for everyone
(Who said that funk was done just by one?)
Just to dance, just to have some fun

Doesn't mean we can't have some more
(It wasn't me, but maybe it was you)
[Verse 17]
Who said that funk was done just by one?
Who said that it was never, ever done?
Who said the two of us couldn't groove?
It wasn't me, but maybe it was you
[Verse 18]
Who said?
We said!
Who said?
