I see you move, I'm checking your smile
Working your back like it's going out of style
[Em]
Shake just a little bit faster
Shake just a little now girl
[C]
Dying to meet you, so let's mess around
I've got an obsession of us getting down

I just need permission so just...

feels good. Here are the lyrics. Go for it.]
I want your green greenlight
But if it's what it seems like
Then we can get it moving baby
Cause we know it's gonna be right
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
[Andre 3000:]
I want your green redlight
I wanna see what you dance like
But if I can be your buddy
Help you study and get your head right
[John Legend:]
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
Do I have a girlfriend... technically no.
If you'll be my girlfriend then I'll make it so
You'll be my only true lover
No competition, no others
Baby it's just the thrill of the chase
But I've got a feeling that I'm winning this race!
Baby I'm in much closer
I just need permission so...
[John Legend:]
Give me the greenlight...
Give me just one night.
I'm ready to go right now!
I'm ready to go right now
We can go all night
Give me the greenlight
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
[Andre 3000:]
I want your green greenlight
But if it's what it seems like
Then we can get it moving baby
Cause we know it's gonna be right
[John Legend:]
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
[Andre 3000:]
I want your green redlight
I wanna see what you dance like
But if I can be your buddy
Help you study and get your head right
[Andre 3000:]
So I went hard like Madusa staring at me
I told her let's go, let's blow this lame nigga factory
She said, What type of girl do you think I are
The kind that you meet in a bar
You think you can get whatever you want cause you some kinda star
No I'm a comet
I just want you woman
Hey, If I were you then It would be me that I go home with
3, the one and only
One thing you ain't considered
I heard you when you told your girl "ooo he can get it"
Admit it
You did it
Let's hop a cab and split it
I'm kiddin
We both going to where you livin
HA, I got you gigglin like I'm piglet
Oh that's the ticket
I hope you are more like anita baker than robin givens
No, I don't know that lady so let me quit it
I'm just style freein, freestylin with ya'll soundin you
That's just what I'm telling you
Should be in bed with you
Like I've been in jail for two
Years and then they let me loose
Chorus
[Andre 3000:]
You got you one legend
Sometimes you gotta step from behind the piano
And let em know what's going on
Even stevie wonder got down sometimes
I'm ready to go
