Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I want your attention in this room
Your eyes on mine
Sit you down, hop onto your pot of gold
You make me come alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Swing it to the left, swing it to the right
Struttin' on the stage, centre of the lights
Trippin' smiles ain't coming down
Take your seat now
[Chorus]
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I'll put on a private show
We’ll be wiling out on the low
[Post-Chorus]
Work it, work it, boy, watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Work it, work it, boy, watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
[Chorus]
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I'll put on a private show
We’ll be wiling out on the low
[Verse 2]
We don't need crowds, we just need us
All my feelings are, about to erupt
All my tricks, they're spectacular
My encore is immaculate
[Pre-Chorus]
Swing it to the left, swing it to the right
Struttin' on the stage, centre of the lights
Trippin' smiles ain't coming down
Take your seat now
[Chorus]
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I'll put on a private show
We’ll be wiling out on the low
[Pre-Chorus]
Work it, work it, boy, watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Work it, work it, boy, watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
[Chorus]
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I'll put on a private show
We’ll be wiling out on the low
[Bridge]
Strut it out, strut it out, eyes on me (Eyes on me)
Watch me strike a pose, feel my heat (Feel my heat)
Spin it 'round, spin it 'round, 360
Ain’t no boundaries here, no cameras, please
Ooh, ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, ooh, so entertaining
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I'll put on a private show
We’ll be wiling out on the low
[Post-Chorus]
Work it, work it, boy, watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Work it, work it, boy, watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
[Chorus]
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I'll put on a private show
We’ll be wiling out on the low
[Outro]
Credits are closing now
Guess that's the end
Can we go again?
Can we do it all again?
Nah, I'll take a bow
Up, down, run it ‘round
Tasting on my apple pie
Apple pie, satisfy
(Giggle)
