[Spoken Intro]
How many of you can step?
Who can step? Can you step?
Can you really step? Can you cut a rug?
Aight, so what we gonna do is slow it down
And see if you can step to this one
Another one for the ladies
Coming from the Chocolate Factory
It's the piper y'all
Your music weatherman

[Verse 1]
I can't wait 'til I hit the door
Can't wait 'til your clothes hit the floor
I want you so bad, my pretty baby
Oh, baby, you should know how I feel
When it comes down to making love with you (whoa)

[Pre-Chorus]
So come on (come on), lets get on this plane of love, baby
And fly through the night
And our destination is wherever your spot is, baby (oh baby)
And woman please believe me I'm gonna drive you crazy, so

[Chorus]
Welcome to (welcome to) the greatest show on Earth (the greatest show)
Welcome, baby, to my bedroom girl (hello)
Welcome to the greatest show on Earth
Girl, welcome to the greatest show on earth
What you're about to witness is unheard...

[Verse 2]
I'll be kissing places on you (kissing you, baby)
All the way from your head to toe and everything in between
I promise to keep you a happy camper
While we make history (Lord have mercy)
Tonight we'll rescue love and set it free
'Cause that's how it's supposed to be
Oh baby, tonight we'll reach the skies
Just you and me girl, 'cause
All I want, all I need, is you here loving me tonight, girl

[Pre-Chorus]
So come on (come on) and let's get on this plane of love baby
We'll fly through the night (girl through the night)
And our destination is wherever your spot is, baby (oh baby)
And I guarantee (my body) I'm gonna drive you crazy
Girl, like a circus when it comes to town
(So many bills in my switch, flips and tricks, in places all around)
Oh baby, come on, girl
I'll be kissing you, baby, up and down
Giving it to you round and round
So...

[Chorus]
Welcome to (welcome to the greatest) the greatest show on Earth
(Welcome baby, baby, to my, girl, my bedroom)
Welcome to (welcome to the greatest) the greatest show on Earth
Baby, welcome to the greatest show
Hope you will enjoy, just sit back and relax
I'm gonna try and make this one hell of a night you won't forget
What you are about to witness is unheard
So welcome to the greatest...woo....show on Earth

[Outro]
Happy People, baby, it's the Chocolate Factory
And the love lines are open and we want you to call us at
1-2-3-L-O-V-E
We wanna send out a shout out to all the birthday people
All the birthday people today
So we gonna send this one out to y'all
Happy People, baby!

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
