"Domino"
By Jessie J
I'm feeling sexy and free
Like glitter's raining on me
You're like a shot of pure gold
I think I'm about to explode
I can taste the tension
Like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running
'Cause you're taking me there
Don't you know
You spin me out of control
We can do this all night
Damn, this love is skintight
Baby come on
Pull me like a bass drum
Sparking up a rhythm
Baby, come on
Chorus
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
You got me losing my mind
My heart beats out of time
I'm seeing Hollywood stars
You strum me like a guitar
(Chorus)
Baby baby, got me feeling so right
Baby baby, dancing in the moonlight
(Chorus)
