[Intro: En Vogue]
(Come on, and you don't stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You're too young for me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You can't dance with me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)

[Verse 1: Dawn Robinson]
Me and my girlfriends broke down to the club
The minute we stepped in
We were being asked to the dance floor, yeah
Before I got his name, he was hittin' on me strong
But I knew from the conversation
He was a bit too young, yeah

[Chorus: En Vogue]
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You're too young for me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You can't dance with me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)

[Verse 2: Maxine Jones]
Brown leather combats, sales tag on his hat
He wore his clothes all inside-out (Yeah, it's a G thing, baby)
(And ya don't stop)
He had a funky step and I thought he was so cute
But as far as me hooking up with him
He had to come harder than that, yeah

[Chorus: En Vogue]
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You're too young for me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You can't dance with me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)

[Verse 3: Terry Ellis]
When the set was over, we headed out to the car
He politely asked to walk me out
Huh, he's playng good so far
The minute I blinked my eyes, he snuck in a little kiss
So I swung out quick to smack him one
But I'm glad I missed

[Chorus: En Vogue]
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You're too young for me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You can't dance with me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)

[Bridge: En Vogue & Kam]
Na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na na
(And ya don't stop, come on
And ya don't stop, uh)
(Do that dance, baby)

[Verse 4: Kam]
Watts up, dawg, where the party at
For a young, buckwild ass naughty brat?
G like me, to kick it here is my ticket
Pat me down 'cause I'm bound to get wicked
A dub just to club? But what's this, a funeral?
My age ain't nothin' but a numeral
19 years is how long I've been a mack
Dry behind the ears, drink beers, not Similac
So y'all sing your little song, yeah
But Rodney King, we can all get along
And I can handle it if nobody told ya
Ain't nothin' like a young, Black roughneck soldier

[Chorus: En Vogue]
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You're too young for me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You can't dance with me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You're too young for me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You can't dance with me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You're too young for me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You can't dance with me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)
Hip hop lover (Hip hop, do it 'til you drop)
You're too young for me (Don't stop, don't you ever stop)

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
