Hot In It – Charli XCX

It’s Charli, baby

Tiësto

You won’t see me cryin’ on the bathroom floor

I ain’t never coming back for more

Wanna see you walking out that door, bye bye bye bye

You won’t see me begging for a second chance

Say I need you ’cause it don’t make sense

Boy, you just lost a ten out of ten, won’t lie lie lie

And tonight I’m gon’ be rockin’ it, droppin’ it

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it

Rockin’ it, droppin’ it

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it

Rockin’ it, droppin’ it

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it

Tonight I’m gon’ be rockin’ it, droppin’ it

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it

Tonight I’m gon’ be rockin’ it, droppin’ it (Yeah-yeah)

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it

Moving ’til my feet get sore

Hands all on me ’til my dress gets torn

Watch me do it, do it real hardcore, my my my my

You and me, we never ever made much sense

I’m too independent, no offense

Boy, don’t be sad about the things I said, don’t cry cry cry

Tonight I’m gon’ be rockin’ it, droppin’ it

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it

(Looking hot in it, hot in it)

(Hot in it, hot in it)

(Looking hot in it, hot in it)

(I look hot in it)

Rockin’ it, droppin’ it

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it

Tonight I’m gon’ be (Yeah) rockin’ it, droppin’ it

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it (Yeah)

Tonight I’m gon’ be rockin’ it, droppin’ it (Yeah-yeah)

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it (Yeah-yeah)

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it (Yeah)

Tonight I’m gon’ be rockin’ it, droppin’ it (Yeah)

Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it

I look hot in it, hot in it

I look hot in it
