Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For whatever reason, I feel like I've been wanting you all my life
You don't understand
I'm so glad we're in the same place at the same time
It's over now
[Verse 2]
I spotted you dancing, you made all the girls stare
Those lips and your brown eyes, and the sexy hair
I should shake my thing, I make the world want you
Tell your boys you'll be back, I wanna see what you can do
[Verse 3]
What would it take for you to just leave with me?
Not trying to sound conceited but me and you we're meant to be
You're a sexy guy, I'm a nice girl
Let's turn this dance floor
Into our own little nasty world
[Verse 4]
Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one
Boys, to love her and to hold
Boys, and when a girl is with one
Boys, then she's in control
[Verse 5]
Took the boy off the dance floor, screaming in his ear
Must have said something 'bout me, 'cause he's looking over here
You looking at me with a sexy attitude
But the way your boys moving it
It puts me in the mood
[Verse 6]
What would it take for you to just leave with me?
Not trying to sound conceited but me and you we're meant to be
You're a sexy guy, I'm a nice girl
Let's turn this dance floor
Into our own little nasty world
[Verse 7]
Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one
Boys, to love her and to hold
Boys, and when a girl is with one
Boys, then she's in control
[Verse 8]
Tonight, let's fly, boy, have no fear
There's no time to lose
And next week, you may not see me here
So boy, just make your move
[Verse 9]
Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one
Boys, to love her and to hold
Boys, and when a girl is with one
Boys, then she's in control
[Verse 10]
Come with me let's fly into the night
Oh boy, tonight is ours
Keep loving me, make sure you hold me tight
Let's head for the stars
Get nasty
[Verse 11]
Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one
Boys, to love her and to hold
Boys, and when a girl is with one
I said boys, then she's in control
[Verse 12]
Can't live with em, can't live without em
