Lyrics

[Intro]
Go on, ha
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, ha
[Chorus]
Baby, give it up or turn it a loose
Like a sex machine, give it up
[Chorus]
Baby, I got to have it
Give it up, give, give it up
Give it up or turn it loose
Like a sex machine
[Verse 1]
Hey, come on
Baby, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got to have it
When I want like a sex machine
[Verse 2]
Uh, good God
Baby, baby, baby
When you see me coming hold your head down
When you see me coming hold your head up high
Said baby, I'll dry my eyes
[Verse 3]
Ain't it funky now?
[Chorus]
Baby, give it up or turn it a loose
Ain't no use
Like a sex machine
Come on
Baby, give it up or turn it a loose
Like a sex machine
[Verse 4]
Keep it there, keep it there
Keep it there, keep it there
I need to feel it, I need to feel it
I need to feel it, I need to feel it
I need to feel it, I need to feel it
[Verse 5]
Baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby
[Bridge]
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, ha
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, ha
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, ha
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, ha
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, ha
[Bridge]
In the jungle, brother
In the jungle, brother
In the jungle, brother
[Bridge]
Clap your hands, ha, stomp your feet, ha
Clap your hands, ha, stomp your feet, ha
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, ha
Clap, clap
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
[Outro]
Come on, haha
