�Don�t Stop the Music�

by Rihanna

Please don�t stop the music

It�s getting late
I�m making my way over
To my favourite place
I got to get my body moving
Shake the stress away
I wasn�t looking for nobody
When you looked my way
Possible candidate
Who knew that you�d be up in here
Looking like you do
Your making staying
Over here impossible
Baby, I�ve got to say
Your aura is incredible
If you don�t have to go, don�t

Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
Now were rocking
On the dance floor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We�re hand in hand
Just to trust and now
We�re face to face

Chorus

I wanna take you away
Let�s escape into the music
DJ let it play
I just can�t refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it
Please don�t stop the music

Baby, are you ready
�Cause its getting close
Don�t you feel the passion
Ready to explode
What goes on between us
No one has to know
This is a private show

(Chorus)
