Lyrics

Hey, o ver there,

please for give me if I’m com in’ on too strong.

Hate to stare,

but you’re win nin’ and they’re play in’ my fav ’rite song.

So come here,

a lit tle clos er, wan na whis per in your ear.

Make it clear,

lit tle ques tion, wan na know just how you feel.

If I said my (Abmaj7)heart was beat ing loud, if we could es (Gm)cape the crowd some how, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

would you (Gm)hold it a gainst me?

’Cause you (Ab)feel like (Bb)par a dise, and I (Gm)need a va ca tion to night.

So, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

would you (Gm)hold it a gainst me?

Hey, you might think

that I’m cra zy, but you know I’m just your type.

I might be

lit tle ha zy, but you just in’ can not de ny

there’s a spark

a in be tween us when we’re danc in’ on the floor.

I want more,

wan na see it, so I’m ask in’ you to night: If I said my (Abmaj7)heart was beat ing loud, if we could es (Gm)cape the crowd some how, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

would you (Gm)hold it a gainst me?

’Cause you (Ab)feel like (Bb)par a dise, and I (Gm)need a va ca tion to night.

So, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

would you (Gm)hold it a gainst me?

(Gm)hold it a gainst me?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh.

(Cm)Give me some thing (Csus2)good,

don’t wan na wait, I (Cm)want it now.

Pop it like a (Csus2)hood,

and show me how you (Cm)work it out.

Al right.

If I said my (Abmaj7)heart was beat ing loud,

if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

(CN.C.)would you hold it a gainst me?

If I said my (Abmaj7)heart was beat ing loud, if we could es (Gm)cape the crowd some how, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

would you (Gm)hold it a gainst me?

’Cause you (Ab)feel like (Bb)par a dise, and I (Gm)need a va ca tion to night.

So, if I said I (Abmaj7)want your bod y now,

would you (Gm)hold it a gainst me?
