Whoa, whoa
Do do do do do
Yeah
Yeah

Yo
Tell me, fellas, have you seen her? (seen her)
It was about five minutes ago
When I seen the hottest chick
That youngin'
Never seen before

I said, yo
Tell her, girls, I want to meet her (meet her)
On a second thought, that ain't the way to go
I got give her game proper
Spit it, so she'll get it
There she is; I got to stop her

Or should I talk about her smile? (It's been said before)
Or what about her style? (Too obvious)
I'm out of time
She's out the door
I got to go for mine

I think I'll say...

[Chorus]
Yo
I don't know your name, but excuse me, miss
I saw you from across the room
And I got to admit that you got my attention
You're making me want to say yo

I know you're tryin' to leave, but excuse me, miss
I save the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me, oh, baby

Now, shorty, grab hold of my hand
And let's pretend the floor is ours
You say you don't really dance

Don't worry about it
We'll just one, two step
One, two step

Now if the music is moving to fast
Grab my hand a little tighter
Don't be afraid to move a little closer

Girl, there is something about you that makes me want to say

[Chorus x 2]

I know you're trying to leave, but excuse me, miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me, oh, baby

I want to be where you are
Ain't nothin' wrong with dancin'
Baby, you're so romantic
Baby, I can be in your heart
So many things I want to tell you
I think that I should start by saying yo

I don't know your name, but excuse me, miss
I saw you from across the room

I got to give her game proper
Spit it so she get it
There she is; I got to stop her

I know you're trying to leave, but excuse me, miss
I saved the last dance for you
How I love to keep you here with me, oh, baby

Now, everybody, just clap your hands like this (like this)
Just clap your hands like this (whoa, like this)
And if your shorty in the house tonight
Just grab her by the hand, homey
Make her understand y'all was made to dance like this (like this)
Y'all was made to bounce like this (whoa like this)
Just let her know she was made for you
And you want to do everything she want to, man

Woo!
