Mm-mm
You're the boss, you run the circus, baby
Take it up a notch, you're so sophisticated
Don't wanna be on a schedule, you're on your own time
(Mm-mm)
Off the scale that goes from hot to crazy
Fingernails, one, two, three colors painted
Crop top and baggy jeans holding your waistline
(Mm-mm)
You make the light and the shadows collide
Your body gets twisted and tangled in mine
Love so good, how could this be free?
I keep your secret safe with me (mm-mm)
Nobody knows you're outta control
But I see a side behind the closed doors
They get a glimpse here on the dance floor
You move like an animal (mm-mm, one, two, three, four)
Nobody knows you're outta control
But I see a side behind the closed doors
They get a glimpse here on the dance floor
You move like an animal (mm-mm)
I'll be gone by morning
So getcha, getcha heels on the floor then
So are you with me? (Are you with me?)
Be careful what you're wishing for 'cause I get freaky (mm-mm)
You make the light and the shadows collide (ooh)
Your body gets twisted and tangled in mine (ooh)
Love so good, how could this be free?
I keep your secret safe with me (mm-mm)
Nobody knows you're outta control
But I see a side behind the closed doors
They get a glimpse here on the dance floor
You move like an animal (mm-mm; one, two, three, four)
Nobody knows you're outta control
But I see a side behind the closed doors
They get a glimpse here on the dance floor
You move like an animal (mm-mm)
I'm gettin' overwhelmed
R-r-right now
Want you to give it to me
All night long (mm-mm), whoo
Nobody knows you're outta control (nobody knows)
But I see a side behind the closed doors
They get a glimpse here on the dance floor
You move like an animal (mm-mm)
Nobody knows you're outta control
But I see a side behind the closed doors (ooh)
They get a glimpse here on the dance floor
You move like an animal (mm-mm)
