Wind It Up Lyrics

[00:00.10] Ha, high on the hills with the lonely goatherd
[00:03.61] Lay-od-lay-od-lay-he-hoo
[00:05.52] He yodelled back with the girl and goatherd
[00:07.62] Lay-od-lay-od-low
[00:11.30] Wind it up
[00:15.40] Wind it up
[00:18.06] (Hun hun) wind it up
[00:20.07] (Hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[00:23.34] Yodellay, yodallay, yodel-low (yeah)
[00:25.51] This is the key that makes us wind up
[00:28.97] When the beat comes on, the girls all line up
[00:32.91] And the boys all look, but no, they can't touch
[00:36.83] But the girls want to know why boys like us so much
[00:42.34] They like the way we dance, they like the way we work
[00:46.24] They like the way that L.A.M.B. is going 'cross my shirt
[00:50.31] They like the way my pants, it compliments my shape
[00:54.15] (She's crazy, right?) They like the way we react every time we hear the-
[00:57.08] Every time the bass bangs, realize it calls your name
[01:00.93] Let the beat wind you up, and don't stop 'til your time is up (get in line now)
[01:05.46] (Hun, hun hun) wind it up (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[01:11.36] Wind it up (come on) (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[01:15.29] Wind it up (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[01:19.22] Yodelay, yodelay, yodal-low
[01:20.87] You've got to let the beat get under your skin
[01:24.67] You've got to open up and let it all in
[01:28.65] But see, once it gets in, the popping begins
[01:33.46] Then you find out why all the boys stare
[01:37.20] See, they're trying to bite our style
[01:40.27] Trying to study our approach
[01:42.13] They like the way we do it, so original
[01:46.30] I guess that they are slow, so they should leave the room
[01:50.17] This beat is for the clubs and cars that go-
[01:53.15] Every time the bass bangs, realize it calls your name
[01:57.02] Let the beat wind you up, and don't stop 'til your time is up (get in line now) (hun, hun-hun)
[02:01.31] (Hun, hun hun) wind it up (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun) (whenever you're ready)
[02:07.26] Wind it up (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[02:11.11] Wind it up (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[02:15.27] Wind it up (hun hun) (yodelay, yodelay, yodal-low)
[02:17.01] (Uh-huh, hun) this is your moment
[02:21.36] (Uh-huh, hun) come on girl, you know you own it
[02:25.38] (Uh-huh, hun) you know your key is still tick-tocking
[02:29.49] (Hell yeah) but you know they're watching
[02:33.87] Get it girl, get it-get it girl
[02:35.81] Get it girl, get it-get it girl
[02:37.74] To the front, to the side, to the back, but don't let him ride
[02:41.81] Keep goin' girl, it's your night
[02:43.61] Don't let him steal your light
[02:45.78] I know he thinks you're fine and stuff
[02:47.40] But does he know how to wind you up? (C'mon)
[02:51.45] (Hun, hun hun) wind it up (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[02:57.25] Wind it up (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[03:01.25] Wind it up (hun hun, hun-hun, hun hun)
[03:05.15] Wind it up (hun hun) (yodelay, yodelay, yodelay, hey)
[03:08.18]
