Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
[Verse 2]
(You can be)
What I want to
You know, all I need is to get my boogie down
[Verse 3]
(You can be)
What I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
[Verse 4]
I got my certain and my sure 'nough on
And I'm puttin' on my really for real
You face that curtain with your best stuff on
You are the winner and you're gonna feel
[Verse 5]
You can be what you want to
And all you need is to get your boogie down
I can be all I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
[Verse 6]
Got my certain and my sure 'nough on
And I'm puttin' on my really for real
Face that curtain with your best stuff on
You are the winner and you're gonna feel
Woo!
[Verse 7]
You can be what you want to
And all you need is to get my boogie down
You can be all you want to
And all you need is to get your boogie down
[Verse 8]
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
I can be what I want to
And all I need is to get my boogie down
