Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ichi, ni, ichi, ni, san, shi
[Verse 2]
Girl, you are my everything
And I'm tryin' to show you how I feel
Don't be surprised if you should find me on one knee
Just to show you, girl, that I'm for real
[Verse 3]
I keep doin' bad but what's the use?
What's the use, babe?
And when you shake that thing
Come on and shake that thing, girl
[Verse 4]
(You know what it do) Don't let it stop
(You know what it do) Lick the cream on top
(You know what it do) Every day and night
(You know what it do) Girl, you make everything alright
[Verse 5]
Yeah, yeah, baby, yeah, yeah
You know what it do
You know what it do
You know what it do
You know what it do, you know what it do
[Verse 6]
Tell your mama and all your friends
There's a change of weather comin' round
I get so high every time I see you, babe
And I don't wanna come back down
[Verse 7]
I keep doin' bad but what's the use?
What's the use, baby? Alright, said
And when you shake that thing, baby
Come on and shake that thing, girl
[Verse 8]
(You know what it do) Don't let it stop, baby
(You know what it do) Lick the cream on top
(You know what it do) Every day and night
(You know what it do) Girl, you make everything alright
[Verse 9]
Whoa, you know what it do
You know what it do
You know what it do
You know what it do
[Verse 10]
You know what it do
You know what it do, yeah
You know what it do
[Verse 11]
Tokyo, girl, you already know (You know what it do)
NYC, come and get down with me (You know what it do)
Paris, France, I wanna see you dance (You know what it do)
LA, all my friends moved away (You know what it do)
ATL, y'all keep it real as hell (You know what it do)
[Verse 12]
Mexico, baby, I got to go now (You know what it do)
Amsterdam, come out and see me, fam (You know what it do)
Got Seoul, yeah, I know y'all got soul (You know what it do)
London town, come and dance, get down (You know what it do)
[Verse 13]
Melbourne, nothing rhymes with Melbourne but y'all cool
Johannesburg, come runnin' to say the word
Sao Paolo, I wanna take you home
Don't worry baby, if we missed your city, you gonna see me soon
Fellas, on the one, y'all
