[Intro: DeVante Swing, JoJo, Jodeci]
Yo baby, this ain't no remix here
So if you with this, come and get this
Yeah baby
(Ho, hey)
Sing it, sing it
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
JoJo, show them what you got
(Give it away)

[Verse 1: JoJo]
Don't wanna get sexy, baby
If you don't wanna get nasty
Maybe we can compromise
And both get a little bit freaky
(And slide) right over here
And let me rub that body
Maybe you would like it, girl
It might get you in the mood, G

[Chorus: Jodeci & JoJo]
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Let's go through the motions, baby)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Every night and every day)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Hey, yeah, yeah)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Yeah)

[Post-Chorus: DeVante Swing]
Yo, this is a new Jodeci format, baby
K-Ci, step to the mic

[Verse 2: K-Ci & Jodeci]
So won't you tell me do you like it, girl
'Cause I love how you move around
Let's take it to the floor, lady
Let's move up and down
We don't have to do sex, lady
Let's just make the sound
So tell me girls, are ya with me? (Yeah)
You thought I was puttin' you down

[Chorus: Jodeci, K-Ci, DeVante Swing]
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Tell me girls are ya with me) (Yeah)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Tell me are ya with me) (Yeah)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(I wanna, I wanna know now) (Yeah)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Mr. Dal, you up next)

[Verse 3: Mr. Dalvin & DeVante Swing]
Now, I'll be damma, yep, I slamma
Baby, check my gramma'
And I go long 'cause Mr. Dalvin got stamina (Ooh wee)
And I be hittin' skins, makin' ends
But your man couldn't touch me by the hairs on my chinny chin, nigga
Fake the freak, I'm not faking the funky freak
(My style is undercover) No cummin on my sheets (Nah, baby)
So hit me up, uh-wee-buh-wubba-wuh
Yes, I wrecks it, I checks it, I gets butt naked (HEY!)
So be my baby, baby, baby
Yo, next, I flex
Put hickeys on her neck
I zoom and more boom than Wrecks-n-Effect
(Jodeci, sing)

[Bridge: Jodeci & JoJo]
It won't be long (And I said it won't be long)
We can go home (If you wanna go home)
(I said it once and I'll say it again)
It won't be long
If you wanna moan
Because you look so sexy, baby
You really turn me on, oh oh oh

[Outro: Jodeci, DeVante Swing, K-Ci]
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Let's go through the motions, baby
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Let's go through the motions, baby
(All night long)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(We could take it to the floor)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Ooh, up and down)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Feel you all around)
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump me?
Let's go through the motions, baby
(I love the way you scream, girl)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Yeah)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Hey)
Let's go through the motions, baby
(Ooh)
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Let's go through the motions, baby
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?
Do you wanna pump, do you wanna pump with me?

Jodeci

Started in 1983, Jodeci is comprised of two sets of brothers—Cedric and Joel Hailey (also known as K-Ci and JoJo) and Donald and Dalvin Degrate (also known as DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin). Jodeci were once known as the “bad boys of R&B,” notable particularly because they were actually boys at the time, breaking out as teenagers in 1991 with their debut album and its title ballad, “Forever My Lady.” Natives of North Carolina, they were discovered by Heavy D, who overheard their demo when an A&R at Uptown was in the process of passing on them. Heavy D introduced Jodeci to Uptown founder Andre Harrell, who signed them after they sang in his office, and handed them off to his then-protégé Puff Daddy, who outfitted the group in dark shades and coordinating leather ensembles. The look, along with the streetwise soul found in songs like “Cry 4 U” and “Feenin” (as well as a few run-ins with the law) made them the antithesis to good-guy personas of then-peaking R&B superstars Boyz II Men. Devante, who along with Mr. Dalvin held down production duties for the group, founded the Swing Mob, a collective responsible for the discovery of musical geniuses like Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Static Major. As a group, Jodeci would go on to release three critically-acclaimed album in the ‘90s, before disappearing from the limelight. K-Ci and JoJo splintered off as a duo in 1997, producing hit single “All My Life” and, eventually, five albums, but adoring fans never let go of their Jodeci obsession. In March, the group released The Past, The Present, The Future, the first Jodeci album in two decades. Jodeci, if y'all reading this, where’d you go?
