Lyrics[]
[Verse]
As we sip champagne, watchin' Purple Rain
Body's insane, how could you complain?
Plus, I know you love my personality
I think I wanna go back to school, and have my locker full of pictures of you
So give me that "A" in biology, I'm graduatin' soon
Mmm, it's something 'bout that look you give me
Makin' me feel that young love inside
Mmm, it's something 'bout that feelin' you give me
I can't resist them butterflies
Mmm, you need a woman holdin' you down
Whenever, wherever, however, whatever, I'll be right by your side
See I just wanna love ya, boy, if you don't mind
Just kickin' this little game of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
And he said, "Girls don't dance no more, all they do is this"
(Twerk sumn, twerk sumn, twerk sumn, twerk sumn, twerk sumn)
Said, "Girls don't dance no more, all they do is this"
(Twerk sumn, twerk sumn, twerk sumn, twerk sumn, twerk sumn)
No more slow jams, no more R&B
No more makin' love in between the sheets
See, "Girls don't dance no more, all they do is this" (Twerk sumn)
[Chorus]
Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donk'
Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donk'
Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donk'
Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donk'
[Verse]
As we sip champagne, watchin' Purple Rain

Mmm, it's something 'bout that look you give me
Makin' me feel that young love inside
Mmm, it's something 'bout that feelin' you give me
I can't resist them butterflies
Mmm, you need a woman holdin' you down
Whenever, wherever, however, whatever, I'll be right by your side

Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donk'
Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donk'
Donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey, donk'
