I know it's crazy, but I feel like you could be
The one that I've been chasing in my dreams
Boy, I can see you're looking at me like you want it
Oh, usually I'm like, "Whatever," but tonight
The way you moving got me, "Where am I?"
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like "Bailemos" (Hey)
La noche está para un reggaetón lento
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo (Ooh)
Yo solo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos?" (Hey)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Excuse me baby boy, just had to dance with you now
See there's nobody in here that comes close to you, no
Your hands are on my waist, my lips you wanna taste
Come muévete, muévete, muévete
Our bodies on fire, with full of desire
If you feel what I feel, throw your hands up higher
And to all the ladies around the world
Go ahead and muévete, muévete, muévete
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like "Bailemos" (Hey)
La noche está para un reggaetón lento (ehe)
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo (Ooh)
Yo solo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos?" (hey)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Do you know I like you when I take you to the floor (the floor)
I know you like this reggaetón lento (lento)
This ain't stopping, baby, 'til I say so
Come get, come get some more
Boy, I wish that this could last forever
'Cause every second by your side is heaven
Oh, come give me that, give me that boom, boom, boom, oh
I tell you, baby, you, baby, you get me hotter
Loving made me sick, made me sick, you're my doctor
Don't you know you're playing with fire tonight
Can we get it right here one more time
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like "Bailemos" (Hey)
La noche está para un reggaetón lento
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo (Ooh)
Yo solo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos?" (Hey)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Yo solo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos, eh?"
La noche está para un reggaetón lento
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like, "Bailemos" (Eh)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Muévete, muévete
Báilalo, báilalo
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Let's get a little closer, slow the tempo
Muévete, muévete (Just dance with me now)
Drop it low, drop it low
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let's go
With this in mind, we thought that it would be appropriate to salute all things Leigh-Anne. The good, the great and the sublime.
Ever since Leigh-Anne auditioned for The X Factor in 2011, it was clear that she was destined for stardom. She raised the roof with an electric performance of 'Only Girl in the World' and went straight through to Bootcamp. Soon after she was put in Little Mix and became an integral part of the group. From her star quality to her artistry, she has never failed to amaze and stun and it's always a joy to watch her on stage and off stage with the Little Mix girls. From Pizza Hut to the Brits, she is a true queen.
Here are some of the traits that make Leigh-Anne so wonderful.
