C#m
Remember Rio and get down
B
Like some other DiJ, in some other town
She's been trying to tell me to hold tight
But I've been waiting this whole night
But I've been down across a road or two
But now I've found the velvet sun
That shines on me and you

Chorus:
G#m                  B
You, in the back, uh-huh, I can't crack,
      E     C#m
We're on top
             G#m                    B
It's just a shimmy and a shake, uh-huh
                    E
I can't fake, we're on top
      C#m
We're on top

The day is breaking, we're still here
Your body's shaking and it's clear
You really need it, so let go
And let me feed it, but you know
That I've been down across a road or two
But now I've found the velvet sun
That shines on me and you

Chorus

We bring the bump to the grind, ah-ho
I don't mind, we're on top
It's just a shimmy and a shake, ah-ho
I can't fake, we're on top, we're on top

D             E           F#m   A
And we don't mean to satisfy tonight
D            E              F#m     A
So get your eyes off of my bride tonight
D              E           F#m   A
Cause I don't need to satisfy tonight
            Bm                E
It's like a cigarette in the mouth, or a
Bm                E
Handshake in the doorway
  Bm                E               F#m
I look at you and smile because I'm fine
