Working your back like it's going out of style 
Em 
Shake just a little bit faster 
Shake just a little now girl

Dying to meet you, so let's mess around 
I've got an obsession of us getting down

Come just a little bit closer 
I just need permission so just...

I want your green greenlight 
But if it's what it seems like 
Then we can get it moving baby 
Cause we know it's gonna be right 

I'm ready to go right now 
I'm ready to go right now 

{Andre 3000:} 
I want your green redlight 
I wanna see what you dance like 
But if I can be your buddy 
Help you study and get your head right 

{John Legend:} 
I'm ready to go right now 
I'm ready to go right now 

Do I have a girlfriend... technically no. 
If you'll be my girlfriend then I'll make it so 
You'll be my only true lover 
No competition, no others 
Baby it's just the thrill of the chase 
But I've got a feeling that I'm winning this race! 
Baby I'm in much closer 
I just need permission so... 

{John Legend:} 
Give me the greenlight... 
Give me just one night. 
I'm ready to go right now! 
I'm ready to go right now 
We can go all night 
Give me the greenlight 
I'm ready to go right now 
I'm ready to go right now 

{Andre 3000:} 
I want your green greenlight 
But if it's what it seems like 
Then we can get it moving baby 
Cause we know it's gonna be right 

{John Legend:} 
I'm ready to go right now 
I'm ready to go right now 

{Andre 3000:} 
I want your green redlight 
I wanna see what you dance like 
But if I can be your buddy 
Help you study and get your head right 

{Andre 3000:} 
So I went hard like Madusa staring at me 
I told her let's go, let's blow this lame nigga factory 
She said, What type of girl do you think I are 
The kind that you meet in a bar 
You think you can get whatever you want cause you some kinda star 
No I'm a comet 
I just want you woman 
Hey, If I were you then It would be me that I go home with 
3, the one and only 
One thing you ain't considered 
I heard you when you told your girl "ooo he can get it" 
Admit it 
You did it 
Let's hop a cab and split it 
I'm kiddin 
We both going to where you livin 
HA, I got you gigglin like I'm piglet 
Oh that's the ticket 
I hope you are more like anita baker than robin givens 
No, I don't know that lady so let me quit it 
I'm just style freein, freestylin with ya'll soundin you 
That's just what I'm telling you 
Should be in bed with you 
Like I've been in jail for two 
Years and then they let me loose 

{Chorus} 

{Andre 3000:} 
You got you one legend 
Sometimes you gotta step from behind the piano 
And let em know what's going on 
Even stevie wonder got down sometimes 
I'm ready to go
