[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Hey pretty lady, you're looking so fine
I want to hit the dance floor, if u don't mind
You're the perfect honey to come and boogie with me
I gotta get you close enough to feel your heart beat

[Pre-Chorus]
It's your frame that makes me lose control (ooh, yeah)
It's your vibe that makes me want you more and more (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Whatever it is girl, don't stop (oh)
I promise, I will take you all the way to the top

[Chorus]
I wanna get to know you, baby, if it's alright (if it's alright)
I wanna see ya move your body for me all night (move it for me all night)
Want you get down, want you get down (uh, ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah, baby, yeah)

[Verse 2]
The time is right now, no second chance
For you and I this is the last dance
I know you want me, I see it in eyes its true
Give me all your numbers, so I can reach out and touch you

[Pre-Chorus]
It's your frame that makes me lose control (oh, yes, it is, yes, it is)

Everybody get your groove on, in this party (come on, no, no)
Hope you ain't got nothing to do tonight (no, no, no, no)
We're about to come and rock this party right

Hope you ain't got nothing to do tonight (yeah)
We're about to come and rock this party right (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
