Usher (yeah man)
So we back in the club
With our bodies rockin' from side to side (side to side)
Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie goin' back to life (back to life)
Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up
No control of my body
Ain't I seen you before?
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes

'Cause baby tonight,
D-J got us fallin' in love again
Yeah, baby tonight,
D-J got us fallin' in love again
So dance, dance,
Like it's the last,
Last night of your life, life
Gon' get you right
'Cause baby tonight,
D-J got us fallin' in love again

Keep downing drinks like there's
No tomorrow there's just right
Now, now, now, now, now, now

Gonna set the roof on fire
Gonna burn this mother fucker
Down, down, down, down, down, down

Hands up, when the music drops
We both put our hands up
Put your hands on my body
Swear I seen you before
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes

'Cause baby tonight,
D-J got us fallin' in love again
Yeah, baby tonight,
D-J got us fallin' in love again
So dance, dance,
Like it's the last,
Last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
'Cause baby tonight,
D-J got us fallin' in love again

Usher, don't lie
Hear no evil, or speak no evil, or see no evil
Get it baby? Hope you catch that like T-O
That's how we roll, my life is a movie, and you just TIVO
Mami got me twisted' like a dreadlock
She don't wrestle but I got her in a headlock
Yabadabadoo make her bedrock mami on fire, (psh) red hots
Bada bing bada boom Mr. Worldwide as I step in the room
I'm a hustler baby, but that you knew, and tonight it's just me and you

'Cause baby tonight, the D-J got us fallin' in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the D-J got us fallin' in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gon' get you right

'Cause baby tonight, the D-J got us fallin' in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the D-J got us fallin' in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right

'Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us fallin' in love again
Yeah, thank you D-J
