Play Lyrics by David Banner

Run girl, I′m tryna get your body wet
Work that, lemme see you drip sweat
Run girl, I’m tryna get your body wet

Work them hips, run girl

Verse

Touch on your body like you want some, girl
Work it like your boy just bought you a pearl
I wanna see you run in the middle of the dance floor
Your man ain’t broke, what you think a friend of me for?

And I′ma beat it on up
Yeah get it enough and I might lick it up
Licky, licky, licky, like a peppermint swirl
Works them hips
Run girl

Uh, I wanna see your legs shake
Take you to the crib, we can jump ’til the bed break
Uh, we can jump ′til your body ache
Think about what happened right now, girl, master
(Uh, uh) beg for your boy, doll
Freaky in the clubs, stop worrying about them other, oh

Work them hips

Work it all around ′til your run outta breath
