Lyrics[]
Hahahaha
What
Your eyes follow like a spotlight
Two eyes like the sun
Go ahead, keep your distance from me
Soon you're gonna come
When you flick your hair like you don't care
And you ask me where I'm from
That game that you're running, baby
You've already won
I need to know, know, know
What do you need, need, need?
What do you like, like, like?
'Cause I'm gonna be it tonight
You can be cool, you can be shy
Say what you want, say what you like
'Cause ooh, your body talks, your body talks
Ooh, ooh, your body talks
You can pretend you don't want it now
But I read the signs from your head to your toes
Yeah, you don't need to say a word 'cause
Ooh, ooh, your body talks
Your lips are a conversation
That face is a song
If it's my imagination
Stop me if I'm wrong
I need to know, know, know
What do you need, need, need?
What do you like, like, like?
'Cause I'm gonna be it tonight
You can be cool, you can be shy
Say what you want, say what you like
'Cause ooh, your body talks, your body talks
Ooh, ooh, your body talks
You can pretend you don't want it now
But I read the signs from your head to your toes
Yeah, you don't need to say a word 'cause
Ooh, ooh, your body talks
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
Come on, babe
Down, girl, shake your hips, yeah
Ooh, ooh, it's on your lips
Yeah, you know, oh, you're into this
Yeah, you can try to hide it, but you know you can't deny it
Ooh ooh, your body talks, your body talks
Ooh, your body talks, ow
You can be cool, you can be shy
Say what you want, say what you like
'Cause ooh, your body talks, your body talks
Ooh, ooh, your body talks
You can pretend you don't want it now
But I read the signs from your head to your toes
Yeah, you don't need to say a word 'cause
Ooh, ooh, your body talks
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh (talk to me)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh
You don't need to say a word
You can be cool, you can be shy
Say what you want, say what you like
Yeah, you don't need to say a word 'cause
Ooh, ooh, your body talks
