Lyrics
[Intro]
Give me the green light, give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now (Let's go)
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
[Verse 1]
I see you move, I'm checkin' your smile
Workin' your back like it's goin' out of style
Shake just a little bit faster
Shake just a little now, girl
[Verse 2]
I'm dyin' to meet you, so let's mess around
Got an obsession with us gettin' down
Come just a little bit closer
I just need permission so
[Chorus]
Give me the green light, give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
We could go all night, give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now (Let's go)
[Chorus]
One, two, three, green light, well, if it's what it seems like
The way you're movin', baby, lets me know that's it's gon' be right
I'm, I'm
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
A-one, two, three, red light, I wanna see what your bed's like
But if I be your buddy, get you studied, get your head right
I'm, I'm
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
[Verse 3]
Do I have a girlfriend? Well, technically, no
If you be my girlfriend, then I'll make it so
You'll be my only true lover
No competition, no other
No other
Maybe it's just the thrill of the chase
But I've got a feeling I'm winnin' this race
Baby, I'm gettin' much closer
I just need permission so
[Chorus]
Give me the green light, give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
We could go all night, give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now (Let's go)
[Chorus]
One, two, three, green light, well, it it's what it seems like
The way you're movin', baby, lets me know that's it's gon' be right
I'm, I'm
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
A-one, two, three, red light, I wanna see what your bed's like
But if I be your buddy, get you studied, get your head right
I'm, I'm
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
[Verse 4]
So I went hard like Medusa starin' at me
I told her let's go, let's blow this lame **** factory
She said, "What kind of girl do you think that I are?
The kind that you meet in a bar?
You think you can get whatever you want 'cause you some kind of star"
No, I'm a comet, I just want you, woman
Hey, if I were you, it would be me that I'd go home with
Three, the one and only, one thing you ain't considered
I heard you when you told your girl, "Ooh, he can get it", admit it
You did it, let's hop a cab and split it
I'm kiddin', we both goin' to where you livin', ha
I got you gigglin' like a piglet, oh, that's the ticket
I hope you more like Anita Baker than Robin Givens
No, I don't know that lady, so let me quit it
I'm just stylefreein', freestylin', which I seldom do
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
This is what I'm tellin' you, to the bed I'm nailin' you
Like I've been in jail for two years and they done let me loose
[Chorus]
Give me the green light, give me just one night
You got you one, Legend
Sometimes, you gotta step from behind the piano, let 'em know what's goin' on
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
Even Stevie Wonder got down, sometimes
We could go all night, give me the green light
I'm ready to go! My mandate can't wait, participate
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
[Outro]
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now, I'm ready to go right now
