## Letra

**[Intro]**

It's a dance thing, blow!

Boys and girls, come sit on the right pon di dance wit dem

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

He was looking, said he wanna hook up

But she don't wanna hook up, told him, "Just go"

And then she looked and said she wanna hook up

I really wanna hook up, told him, "Let's go"

**[Verso 1]**

Baby, I can't believe everything your body make me wanna do

And the way that you move on the floor

Now I think I'm in love with you (In love with you)

Grab my waist

Wanna get with the rhythm and that move you do, do

Switch my hips on the floor

Baby, slow to keep up with you

**[Coro]**

Back it up, now

Bump you rump, now

Grab my waist, now

Work it out, now

Grab my shoulder

Pick it up, now

Take it lower

To the floor, now

[Post-Chorus]

Hook up, baby, we can drop a little something

Ride it, baby, we can do a little something

Take out, baby, wanna get a little something

You know, baby, let's hook up a little something

**[Verso 2]**

Baby, I can't believe everything that I feel when I dance with you

(Dance with you)

From the small of my back to the breath on my neck

To the move you do

Put your body, gotta get my body up right next to you

Move the party, gotta rock the party until they're over you

**[Coro]**

Back it up, now

Bump you rump, now

Grab my waist, now

Work it out, now

Grab my shoulder

Pick it up, now

Take it lower

To the floor, now

Back it up, now

Bump you rump, now

Grab my waist, now

Work it out, now

Grab my shoulder

Pick it up, now

Take it lower

To the floor, now

**[Bridge]**

Boy, I can't explain what you do to me

My whole world has changed, I'm livin' a fantasy

Tonight, I'm in the mood

Please take me by your hand

I wanna get in your groove

Oh baby, take me there

**[Post-Bridge]**

Yo, everybody get up now!

If y'all sit down

Me wan' see ya pon the dance floor a move now

Yo, everybody down!

**[Break]**

The bodies keep shaking

My body keeps shaking

Better get your butt out here, baby

Come on, let's go

So do how you do it

Bend over, get to it

Back down to the ground

Pick it up, let's go

Pick it up, let's go

The bodies keep shaking

My body keeps shaking

Better get your butt out here, baby

Come on, let's go

So do how you do it

Bend over, get to it

Back down to the ground

Pick it up, let's go

Pick it up, let's go

**[Bridge 2]**

Don't stop, just get, get on the floor

Butt drops, hips pop, poppin' for sure

Who's got, got it? Get it some more

One time, two time, three time we go

**[Coro]**

Back it up, now

Bump your rump, now

Grab my waist, now

Work it out, now

Grab my shoulder

Pick it up, now

Take it lower

To the floor, now

Back it up, now

Bump your rump, now

Grab my waist, now

Work it out, now

Grab my shoulder

Pick it up, now

Take it lower

To the floor, now

**[Post-Coro]**

Hook up, baby, we can drop a little something

Ride it, baby, we can do a little something

Take out, baby, wanna get a little something

You know, baby, let's hook up a little something

**[Coro]**

Back it up, now

Bump your rump, now

Grab my waist, now

Work it out, now

Grab my shoulder

Pick it up, now

Take it lower

To the floor, now

Back it up, now

Bump your rump, now

Grab my waist, now

Work it out, now

## Curiosidades

* Cuando se realizó una actuación de esta canción durante la gira, la iluminación del escenario cambia a los colores de la bandera jamaicana (verde, negro y dorado) para rendir tributo a su influencia dancehall jamaicana.
* La línea "he wanna hookup" se escribió originalmente como "wanna fuck". Se desconoce si Spears grabó esta versión.
