Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let me take you to Rio
Let me take you to Rio
Let me take you (Oh)
Take you (How?)
Take you far in the sky
Let me take you
Oh, let me take you to Rio
[Verse 2]
Rio De Janeiro, yo, just for the weather though
(OK) Don't wait for the moment, it's everywhere that we go (OK)
Don't worry about the future 'cause really, you never know
Trust yourself, no one can tell you which direction to go
All the time, most of the time
Some of the time
Nothing to mind under the sun
So much to find
And where there's bad weather none of the time
It's nothing but blue skies, I'll deal with them clouds some other time
We're gone
[Verse 3]
Let me take you to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chill in my gazebo
Oh, na-na-na
Let me take you to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chill in my gazebo
Oh, na-na-na
[Verse 4]
Ah, show you a life that you will never experience
Open your mind up and witness the limitless, oh
Somethings come easy but some are the trickiest, yo
Until relax and quit being so serious
Ah, seriously life is mysterious
It appears to be so simple but also ambiguous
All we can do is enjoy the voyage and soak it up
What an incredible view of the ocean from up above
While they
[Verse 5]
Let me take you to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chill in my gazebo
Oh, na-na-na
Let me take you to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chill in my gazebo
Oh, na-na-na
[Verse 6]
Shake it up fast, wind it up slow
Oh, just move your body, girl
Work it to the floor, let your body go
Now, now, now, oh
[Verse 7]
Let me take you to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chill in my gazebo
Oh, na-na-na
Let me take you to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chill in my gazebo
Oh, na-na-na
