## Lyrics

**Pablo Vittar:**

Have you ever felt like, like you’re not enough

Have you ever broken down, couldn’t get up

Me, I got bad days, gets a little tough

But I got a secret, babe, I dance it off

*Ah, ah, ah*

He asked me how I move like this

*Ah, ah, ah*

Where did you get confidence like this?

*Ah, ah, ah*

I said, "Wouldn't you like to know?"

*Ah, ah, ah*

Follow me and I'll show you how I do

If you wanna know what it takes

To throw all your troubles away

If you wanna set yourself free

Follow, follow

Follow me (Me)

Back off the wall, work all your angles

Walk cross the floor, Naomi Campbell

You serving face like Supermodel

Dance with me sway, follow me, let's go

Follow me

**Rina Sawayama:**

Have you ever felt like, like you’re not enough

Have you ever broken down, couldn’t get up

Me, I got bad days, gets a little tough

But I got a secret, babe, I'll show you how I do

If you wanna know what it takes

To throw all your troubles away

If you wanna set yourself free

Follow, follow me

**Both:**

Follow, follow (Me, ah)

Follow me

Back off the wall, work all your angles

Walk cross the floor, Naomi Campbell

You serving face like Supermodel

Dance with me sway, follow me, let's go

Follow me, follow me

Follow me, follow me, follow me

Follow me, follow me

Follow me, follow me

Follow me, follow me

Follow me, follow me, follow me

Back off wall, work all angles

**Pabllo:**

Back off the wall, work all your angles

Walk cross the floor, Naomi Campbell
