Just Doin My Thang

Verse 1 (part 1)
The minute I walk in, All eyes are fixed on me
Not just the guys, seems like some women are watchin too
They look me
Up & Down
From my head to my heels
Should I stop and tell them
Where I went and bought it
No, I don’t think so
(uh-huh)
Verse 1 (Part 2)
We make our way to the middle of the floor
It’s like center stage
Taking control of the main dance floor
You know we do our thang
We shake it
Keep it tight
Embrace it
We stay fly
Just dancing, grooving, movin to the music
Having a good time
Chorus:
I’m just doin my thang
You better watch out for me
Cause your man’s in a daze
While you’re worried bout me
The way that I move
It keeps them all intrigued
Not focused on you
Not tryin to impress you
Just doin my thang
Verse 2 (part 1)
I know on any other night I might have responded to you
But tonight I’m with my girls not trying to come off as being rude
Not lookin
For approval
Or you to understand
Why can’t you just let it go
Or is it too hard to comprehend
Verse 2 (part 2)
You come and talk to me but you need to see
I’m just doin my thang
Livin Life, just having fun
Don’t need someone to “say my name”
Not lookin
For a man
To tell me he’s the one
Just dancing, groovin, movin to the music
Having a good time
Chorus:
Bridge:
You see me vibin
To the music
Losing control
What has come over me
Lost in the rhythm
The music surges
From my hips unto my feet
Slowly taking over me tonight
