Red One, Konvict, Gaga (oh, yeah)

I've had a little bit too much, much oh oh woah!
All of the people start to rush, start to rush by.
How does she twist the dance
Can't find my drink, or man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What's going on out on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.

Just dance, gonna be okay.
Da da doo doo just dance spin that record babe.
Da-da-doo-doo just dance, gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh dance, dance, dance, just dance.

Wish I could shut my playboy mouth.
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? Inside out right.
Control your poison babe
Roses have thorns they say.
And we're all gettin' hosed tonight.
What's going on on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.

Just dance, gonna be okay.
Da da doo doo just dance spin that record babe.
Da-da-doo-doo just dance, gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh dance, dance, dance, just dance.

When I come through on the dance floor checkin' out that catalog.
Can't believe my eyes so many women without a flaw.
And I ain't gonna give it up, steady tryin' to pick it up like the car
I'm a hit it, I'm a hit it and flex until the 'till done until tomorrow yeah.

Shawty I can see that you got so much energy,
The way you twirling up them hips round and round
There's no reason, I know why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime stand, let me watch you break it down and dance

Gonna be okayay da-da-doo-doo
Just dance, spin that record babe.
Da-da-doo-doo Just dance, gonna be okay.
Da-da-doo-doo just dance, spin that record babe.
Da-da-doo-doo just dance, gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh dance, dance, dance, just dance

Half psychotic sick-hypnotic
Got my blueprint it's symphonic
Half psychotic sick-hypnotic
Got my blueprint electronic
Half psychotic sick-hypnotic
Got my blueprint it's symphonic
Half psychotic sick-hypnotic
Got my blueprint electronic

Go, use your muscle carve it out work it, hustle
(I got it, just stay close enough to get it)
Don't slow, drive it, clean it Lysol, bleed it
Spend the last dough (I got it) on your pocko (I got it)

Just dance, gonna be okayay.
Da-da-doo-doo just dance, spin that record babe.
Da-da-doo-doo just dance, gonna be okay.
Da-da-doo-doo just dance, spin that record babe.
Da-da-doo-doo just dance, gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh dance, dance, dance, just dance.
