Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
Runnin' through the river
Runnin' through the river with you, dance (dance)
Runnin' through the river
Runnin' through the river with you, dance (dance)
Staring down the barrel of his gun
Yes, he shot me down
I died and someone brought me back to life
But never to my senses
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
Staring down the barrel of my gun
Yes, I shot you down
He cried the day he realized
That lies were hidden in my kisses
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
He was tangled in my arms
He was my mess, my ball of string
I would give him everything
My thunderstorm and second chances
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
Runnin' through the river
Runnin' through the river with you, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
We fight but we must make amends
Arrest me and read me my rights
I plan to steal your heart again
On Saturday and Sunday night
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands (no hands)
Wrap me 'round your little finger
Wrap me 'round your wedding ring
Your words, they take the shape my body makes
Ain't that the scary thing
Bounce on that shit, dance (oh)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands (no hands)
Runnin' through the river (dance)
Runnin' through the river with you, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
Staring at the barrel of this gun
Yes, he shot me down
I died, but then I came straight back to life
But never to my senses (hey)
We fight but then we make amends
Arrest me and read me my rights (hey)
I plan to steal your heart again
On Saturday and Sunday nights (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (we dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (we dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
Day I met you, I remember everything, I wrote it down
Your smile was cold, your fade was fresh
Your eyes were such a shade of brown
Bounce on that shit, dance (oh)
Bounce on that shit, dance (oh)
Bounce on that shit, dance (oh)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
You press your ear onto my chest
You hear the speed my heart will beat
Seconds drag like days whenever
You don't wanna talk or speak
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance, ooh)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance, dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (do the dance, dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands (do the dance)
Runnin' through the river
Runnin' through the river with you, dance
Runnin' through the river
Runnin' through the river
Runnin' through the river (runnin')
Runnin' through the river with you, dance
Runnin' through the river
Runnin' through the river (ooh)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, dance (dance)
Bounce on that shit, no hands
