Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Beat is gettin' stronger
Music gettin' longer, too
Music is flashin' me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna take you higher
I wanna take you higher
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire
I wanna take you higher
Boom laka-laka-laka, boom laka-laka-laka
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Beat is nitty-gritty
Sound is in your city, too
Music's still flashin' me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna take you higher
I wanna take you higher
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire
I wanna take you higher
Boom laka-laka-laka, boom laka-laka-laka
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Wanna take you higher
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire
Wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher
You and I
Boom laka-laka-laka, boom laka-laka-laka
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Beat is there to make you move
Sound is there to help you groove
Music's still flashin' me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna take you higher
I wanna take you higher
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire
I wanna take you higher
Boom laka-laka-laka, boom laka-laka-laka
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna take you higher
I wanna take you higher
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire
I wanna take you higher
Boom laka-laka-laka, boom laka-laka-laka
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher
Boom laka-laka-laka, boom, boom, boom, boom
(How y'all doing, what's good?)
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher
Baby, baby, baby, come and light my fire (alright)
Wanna take you higher
Boom laka-laka-laka, boom, boom, boom, boom
I wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher
Baby, baby, baby, come and light my fire
Wanna take you higher
Wanna take you higher
Wanna take you
Baby, baby, baby, come and light my fire
Wanna take you
Baby, baby, baby, come and light my fire
Wanna take you
Wanna take you
Wanna take you
Wanna take you higher (higher)
Wanna take you higher (higher)
Wanna take you higher (higher)
Wanna take you higher (higher)
Wanna take you
(Higher)
(Higher)
