[Intro: All]
Ah, Backstreet
One time, here we go
Yes, yes, one time, yes, yes

[Verse 1: AJ]
I could tell when I stepped in the room
And I saw you standing there
Caught in a vibe by the way that you moved
I couldn't help the way I stared
There was some mysterious force
Leading me here to you
Lead me to you (lead me to you)

[Pre-Chorus: AJ & All]
So I stood there watching
And I was hypnotized
By the rhythm of your body
And the music in your eyes
And I was lost inside your world with you
Oohh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Hey, Mr. DJ keep playing this song for me
Out on the floor in my arms she's got to be
Let's get it on (let's get it on)
Jam all night long, Mr. DJ, Mr. DJ
Play it, play it for me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2: AJ]
Now it feels like it could be romance
As we dance across the floor
Every move that your body makes
Only makes me want you more
And it seems like time's moving fast
How can we make it last?
Make it last now (make it last somehow)

[Pre-Chorus: AJ & All]
As we keep on dancing
I am hypnotized
By the rhythm of your body
And the music in your eyes
I was lost inside your world with you (with you)
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Hey, Mr. DJ keep playing this song for me
Out on the floor in my arms she's got to be
Oh, let's get it on (let's get it on)
Jam all night long, Mr. DJ, Mr. DJ
Oh, play it, play it, play it for me

[Bridge: AJ & All]
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
And imagine us alone (just imagine)
Let the music put you in a zone
Let the music put you in a zone, oh yeah
I get lost (I get lost)
Lost inside a groove with you (lost inside a groove)
When you do the dance you do
Come on and work your body, work your body

[Interlude: All]
Hey, Mr. DJ
Jam all night long
Hey, Mr. DJ
Play that song for me
Hey, Mr. DJ
Jam all night long
Hey, Mr. DJ
Play that song for me

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Hey, Mr. DJ keep playing this song for me
Out on the floor in my arms she's got to be
Let's get it on (let's get it on)
Jam all night long, Mr. DJ, Mr. DJ
Play it, DJ, ooh
Hey, Mr. DJ keep playing this song for me
Out on the floor in my arms
She's got to be, she's got to be
Oh, let's get it on (let's get it on)
Jam all night long, Mr. DJ, Mr. DJ
Oh, play it, play it, play it for me, DJ

[Outro: All]
Keep it going Mr. DJ, keep it going Mr. DJ
Keep it going Mr. DJ, keep it going Mr. DJ
Keep it going Mr. DJ, keep it going Mr. DJ
Keep it going Mr. DJ, keep it going Mr. DJ
Keep it going Mr. DJ, keep it going Mr. DJ
Keep it going Mr. DJ, keep it going Mr. DJ

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
