|| Intro:
|| Verse 1:
Remember Rio, and get down
Like some other DJ, in some other town
She's been trying to tell me to hold tight
But I've been waiting this whole ni-ight
But I've been down
Across a road or two
But now I've found
The velvet sun, that shines on me and...
||Chorus:
You, in the back, uh-huh, I can't crack,
We're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh-huh
I can't fake, we're on top
We're on top
|| Break:
|| Verse 2:
The day is breaking, we're still here
Your body's shaking, and it's clear
You really need it, so let go
And let me feed it, but you kno-ow
That I've been down
Across a road or two
But now I've found
The velvet sun, that shines on me and...
|| Chorus:
You, in the back, uh-huh, I can't crack,
We're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh-huh
I can't fake, we're on top
We're on top
We bring the bump to the grind, uh-huh
I don't mind, we're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh-huh
I can't fake, we're on top
We're on top
|| Bridge:
And we don't mean to satisfy tonight
So get your eyes off of my bride tonight
Cause I don't need to satisfy tonight
It's like a cigarette in the mouth, or a
Handshake in the doorway
I look at you and smile because I'm fine
|| Break:
|| Solo: (optional, explained further)
|| Bridge:
And we don't mean to satisfy tonight
So get your eyes off of my bride tonight
Cause I don't need to satisfy tonight
It's like a cigarette in the mouth, or a
Handshake in the doorway
I look at you and smile because I'm fine
