Hoola lalala hoola lalala
Hoola lalala lalalala
Hoola lalala hoola lalala
Hoola lalala
[Verse 1]
Oh, I wanna be with you
Oh, I know you want me too

[Pre-Chorus]
So can I get a toot toot for the lovers tonight
Toot toot love when it's just right?
Toot toot, it's about to go down
So here we go, here we go now

[Chorus]
Why you gotta feel so right?
Why you gotta, why you gotta leave me open wide?
Love it when you love me right
Why you gotta, why you gotta take over my mind?
Every time, why you gotta take over my mind?
Every time, why you gotta leave me hypnotized?

Hoola lalala hoola lalala
Hoola lalala lalalala
Hoola lalala hoola lalala
Hoola lalala

[Verse 2]
Oh, you got me in your palms (hands)
But I want, want you in my arms, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
So can I get a toot toot for the lovers tonight
Toot toot love when it's just right?
Toot toot, it's about to go down
So here we go, here we go now

[Chorus]
Why you gotta feel so right?
Why you gotta, why you gotta leave me open wide?
Love it when you love me right
Why you gotta, why you gotta take over my mind?
Every time, why you gotta take over my mind?
Every time, why you gotta leave me hypnotized?

Hoola lalala hoola lalala
Hoola lalala lalalala
Hoola lalala hoola lalala
Hoola lalala

[Bridge]
You got my mind, girl, spinning 'round and 'round
You got it spinning
So far away, girl, where it can't be found
Just go and admit

[Pre-Chorus]
Toot toot for the lovers tonight
Toot toot love when it's just right?
Toot toot, it's about to go down
So here we go, here we go now

[Chorus]
Why you gotta feel so right?
Why you gotta, why you gotta leave me open wide?
Love it when you love me right
Why you gotta, why you gotta take over my mind?
Every time, why you gotta take over my mind?
Every time, why you gotta leave me hypnotized?
Hoola lalala hoola lalala
Hoola lalala lalalala
Hoola lalala hoola lalala
Hoola lalala

Akon (born Aliaume Akon Thiam), is a Senegalese-American Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling rapper, songwriter, singer and businessman. His trademark is singing the word ‘convict’ at the beginning of most of his songs.

Akon was born in the US but spent much of childhood in the West African country Senegal. There, he learned to play five instruments including the djembe, guitar and drums. Early on Akon signed a deal with Elektra Records, but was later dropped from the label.

His career took off when Lil Zane introduced Akon to music executive DeVyne Stephens, who signed him to his label UpFront Records and became his longtime manager and business partner.
