She looked up from the book she was reading
With the prettiest smile that I ever saw
Curly hair down her back
And her skin like cinnamon brown without a flaw
And man, those eyes
Made my heart stop in my chest
Then she said, “Hi”
And it was hard to catch my breath
I said, “Hey lil’ mama
I don’t mean to bother at all, my name is Chris” (Hello, hello)
And before she could answer
I said, “Don’t say a word
Listen to this, I think you’re fine”
And she cracked that smile again
Let’s say goodbye to my homies and your friends
We can dip out
We can dip out alone, keep it moving
Do something fun, and keep it moving
Talk about life, about love, that’s what’s up (Oh, yeah)
Keep it moving (Oh)
Don’t matter at all (All)
Wherever we go (Go)
Oh (No)
Girl, just come on, let’s keep it moving
So we exchange numbers
I told her I’ll be at her crib by a quarter to six
We can go get a bite, little lady
Or chill at the mall and catch a flick
If that’s alright
She said, “As long I’m home by nine (Nine)
Whatever we do is fine”
I can’t believe
I can’t believe that she’s here with me, no (Hey)
And God only knows
God only knows, how far we can go
I hope this night will go my way
I hope this night will go my way and we can do this everyday
And if I’m cool and take my time
Then I might just get a kiss goodnight, oh yeah
We can dip out alone, and keep it moving
Do something fun, and keep it moving (ha)
Talk about life, about love, that’s what’s up (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And keep it moving (Oh)
It don’t matter at all (All)
Wherever we go (Go)
Oh no (No)
Girl, just come on, let’s keep it moving
