[Intro]
Nah, it's not good
Two, three
[Verse]
Come on, little baby, let's tear that dance floor up
Come on, little baby, let's tear that dance floor up
Come on, little mama, let me see you strut your stuff
I'm a' leavin', little baby, gonna be gone a long, long time
I'm a' leavin', little baby, gonna be gone a long, long time
Well come on honey and show me a real good time
[Chorus]
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby let me see you strut your stuff
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby let me see you strut your stuff
Well you step back baby, and you move my way
Step around again and let me hear you say
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little baby, let me see you strut your stuff
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Come on little mama let me see you strut your stuff
