Dance Wid Me Lyrics..

Ooh Ooh
Ooohhh Baby
Dance with me

Whats up kaz?
I've been keepin my eye on your movements.
I can't see no room for improvement
And while your all over there in your jack jones.
You need to let me get behind your back bone.
Cause i'm the man for the job let me work it.
I won't waste no time i'll make it worth it.
One hundred percent i'll make it perfect.
You got a body to die for lemme merk it.
Now it's murder on the dance floor, I wanna take this further than the dance floor.
I ain't forceful but i'm still hardcore.
Your gunna give me everything i ask for.
It's not a long ting, your the boom ting.
Maybe more than a hotel room ting.
I'll never know if i just walk past, i really wanna dance so i guess i'll just ask.

She ain't no hoe,
Look at those thighs it's in her eyes shes good to go,
She can satisfy my mind, body and my soul
come and dance with me, come and dance with me, come and dance with me, come dance with me, i see you glance at me, so that's why i'm askin b, so lets party b, come and dance with me.

If I'm out on my own then I can look at you, looking at me.
If I'm out on a date, then I just shut my eyes, then I cant see.
Get away from the bar, tell your boyfriend to hold your jar and dance with me...

I see you glance at me, so that's why i'm askin b, so lets party b, come and dance with me.

yo it goes on and on, i see you get excited like this is my song
you fink i wanna get involved you are not wrong
cos i've been waiting for this moment all night long
so i creep creep creep back to your seat
i've got my left eye checking out the scenery
and my right eye back where it needs to be
no matter how i look at it you look good to me
still, im looking for the perfect view
the way i see it thats right next to you
i know you've probably heard it before
but still i love it wen u flex like that for real
so don't stop doing what you do when you do it
I just wanna be a part of it when you do it.
i feel like a wally if i don't persue it
and i can't get through it so lets get to it

She ain't no hoe,
Look at those thighs it's in her eyes shes good to go,
She can satisfy my mind, body and my soul
come and dance with me, come and dance with me, come and dance with me, come dance with me, i see you glance at me, so that's why i'm askin b, so lets party b, come and dance with me.

I know you didnt come out to stand and stare
you bought new shoes and you did up your hair
you made a real effort tonight and it shows
i can tell by your face you don't wana be alone
cos the mood is rite and the time is now
and if u cant do it ill show u how
all u gotta do is get loose, let go
just throw out a couple shakes
put your skills on show

If I'm out on my own then I can look at you, looking at me.
If I'm out on a date, then I just shut my eyes, then I cant see.
Get away from the bar, tell your boyfriend to hold your jar and dance with me...

I see you glance at me, so that's why i'm askin b, so lets party b, come and dance with me.

If I'm out on my own then I can look at you, looking at me.
If I'm out on a date, then I just shut my eyes, then I cant see.
Get away from the bar, tell your boyfriend to hold your jar and dance with me

This is a chronological list of wrestlers that have been WCW World Heavyweight Champion by ring name. The WCW World Heavyweight Championship was a professional wrestling championship. Its lineage began when Ted Turner purchased Jim Crockett Promotions, which used the National Wrestling Alliance alliance name. Turner's organization was renamed World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and split from the NWA in 1991.[1]

The WCW World Heavyweight Championship is the original world championship of World Championship Wrestling. It was deactivated after WCW was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment) and the title was unified with the WWF Championship. There have been a total of 22 recognized champions who have had a combined 63 official reigns.

Diamond Dallas Page as WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

The championship has been known as:

  • WCW World Heavyweight Championship (January 1, 1991 – March 26, 2001)[2]
  • WCW Championship (June 25, 2001 – November 18, 2001)[2]
  • World Championship (November 19, 2001 - December 9, 2001)[3]
