Did I catch your attention?
You look like you lost your breath
When I circle the room
You an owl, you go’n twist your head
Don’t you come at me green with an attitude
When my lips and my soles are red
If I leave you behind
You can look for the broken necks
Cause I’ve been here once or twice
Never worry ’bout the eyes, c’mon
Don’t just stand there staring, honey
Try to move your feet
If you think they’re looking at you
They looking at me
I could make it nice and easy
I’ma take the lead
They ain’t even looking at you, baby
They looking at me
They looking at me
Yeah yeah, they looking at me
Yes I’m young for a teacher
I’ll teach you what you don’t know
(I can teach you the things that you wanna know)
But I can’t give it up all at once
You would overdose
Don’t you bring any bull in the room tonight
It’s a whole new rodeo
It could be you and me
But you know that I’ll steal the show
Cause I’ve been here once or twice
I’ve been here once or twice, babe
Never worry ’bout the eyes
Never worry ’bout the eyes, c’mon
Don’t just stand there staring, honey
Try to move your feet
If you think they’re looking at you
They looking at me
I could make it nice and easy
I’ma take the lead
They ain’t even looking at you, baby
They looking at me
They looking at me
Yeah yeah, they looking at me
But they’re looking at me babe
‘Cause they looking at me baby
If I leave you behind
You can look for the broken necks
Don’t just stand there staring, honey
Try to move your feet
If you think they’re looking at you
They looking at me
I can make it nice and easy
I’ma take the lead
They ain’t even looking at you, baby
They looking at me
(They just looking at me, they just looking at me)
They looking at me
(Yeah, they’re looking at me, my baby, baby, baby)
Yeah yeah, they looking at me
Don’t you know that they looking at me?
They looking at me
