Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, baby
Woo, yeah
[Chorus]
Having a real showdown
Hey, can you see what's happening?
Whatever's going down
I'm on the case
Oh, you know I'm with you, baby
[Verse 1]
Oh, you're looking dynamite
Should I try to play it cool?
You know that I'll play it right
Oh, I'll be looking out for you
[Refrain]
State your case, state your case
Make your move before it's too late
State your case, state your case
Oh, we'll be dealing all the way
[PreChorus]
You know I'm ready, baby
Said I'm ready right now
[Chorus]
Having a real showdown
Hey, can you see what's happening?
Whatever's going down, now
I'm on the case
Hey, I'm steady groovin', baby
[Verse 2]
Hey, I know what you're feeling, baby
There's no reason to be afraid
I'm gonna keep you next to me
And I believe we got it made
[Refrain]
State your case, state your case
Make your move before it's too late
State your case, state your case
Oh, we'll be dealing all the way
[Chorus]
I said I'm ready, baby
Having a real showdown
Oh, what's happening, baby?
Stepping on down, I'm feeling good
Oh, so good
I said I'm ready, baby, ooh
Yeah, yeah
Lay it on down
I'm getting ready, oh yes, I am
Yeah, yes, I'm on the case
[Instrumental]
