  • Man, look at you, been walking in here
    Looking all pretty and angry and mean and good (haha)
    Now I know you didn't get your hair done
    So you could just sit down and just sit still
    Hey, we tryna have a good time tonight, let's go baby!

    It's my birthday
    (No, it's not)
    But I still look good though
    (Hot comb hot)
    I bet you want an autograph
    For you and your friends
    Gotta do it in the penthouse
    That's where I keep my pen

    What you can't dance, ain't got rhythm?
    What you got a man? I don't see you with him
    Put your phone down, let's get it
    Forget your Instagram and your Twitter
    Got me like whoa, wait a minute
    You need to take a minute
    Loosen them shoulders up
    Pour it up, let's work

    Throw some perm on your attitude
    Girl, you gotta relax (ooh)
    Let me show you what you got to do
    You gotta lay it back
    Matter of fact, band, show her how to lay it back!
    Show her how to lay it back
    Show her how to lay it back
    Ow, show her how to lay it back
    Alright!

    Come on baby, I love you
    (No you don't)
    You never know, I might though
    Can't say I won't, ah
    There's that smile I'm looking for
    Was that so hard?
    If you ever need to smile again girl, take my card

    Razzle-dazzle, never gon' stop
    What you want is what I got
    You wanna get down? You gotta get up
    Don't be stingy with your big ol' butt
    You got a booty like whoa, wait a minute!
    I'm just playing with you
    Loosen them shoulders up
    Pour it up, let's work

    Throw some perm on your attitude
    Girl, you gotta relax (ooh)
    Let me show you what you got to do
    You gotta lay it back
    Matter of fact, band, show her how to lay it back!
    Show her how to lay it back
    Show her how to lay it back
    Ow, show her how to lay it back
    Alright!

    Hey, now you got it baby
    You tryna have some fun tonight
    You just gotta follow these simple instructions, you ready?

    You need to activate your sexy (activate your sexy)
    Silky, smooth and snap (silky, smooth and snap)
    Now lean with it (lean), throw a lil' sheen in it (sheen)
    Then pat, pat, pat 'til it's flat
    One more time, you need to activate your sexy (activate your sexy)
    Silky, smooth and snap (silky, smooth and snap)
    Now lean with it (lean), throw a lil' sheen in it (sheen)
    Then pat, pat, pat 'til it's flat

    I'll sing it again
    Throw some perm on your attitude
    Girl, you gotta relax
    (Ooh)
    Ooh, let me show you what you got to do
    You gotta lay it back
    Matter of fact, band, show her how to lay it back!
    Show her how to lay it back
    Show her how to lay it back, now
    Ow, show her how to lay it back right now
