[Intro]
Ooh you’re so electric
Ooh I can’t forget ya
Got all the goods, etcetera
Let you go no I ain’t gonna let ya
You got me saying

[Chorus]
Hold up
Hold up
Wait a minute I wanna talk to ya
Hold up
Hold up
Wait a minute let me get inside ya

[Verse 1]
I know what I want
I know what I want
I know what I want and it’s what you got
I know what I want
I know what I want
I know what I want and I’m feeling it a lot
And I know what I want and it’s what you got
And you know what I want and it’s what you got
You’re outta sight
No one can see you baby

[Verse 2]
Ooh I think it’s simple
Ooh forget the label
Don’t want to be a ball around your ankle
But maybe I can be your safe zone
You’ve got me saying

[Chorus]
Hold up
Hold up
Wait a minute I wanna talk to ya
Hold up
Hold up
Wait a minute let me get inside ya

[Bridge]
Let’s get connected
Feel your essence
Don’t say too much or you’re gonna wreck it
And I know what I want and it’s what you got
And you know what I want and it’s what you got
You’re outta sight
No one can see you baby

[Chorus x3]
Hold up
Hold up
Wait a minute I wanna talk to ya
Hold up
Hold up
Wait a minute let me get inside ya

Nelly Furtado

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
