Lyrics
Play that song
Request to play a specific song
The one that makes me go all night long
The song that keeps the energy going throughout the night
The one that makes me think of you
Evokes thoughts of a particular person
That's all you gotta do
Asking the DJ to simply play that song
Hey, mister DJ when you gonna spin it
Asking the DJ when they will play the requested song
My baby's favorite record she been waiting for a minute
Expressing how much someone has been anticipating hearing the song
She invited all her friends and I'm buying all the rounds
Preparing for a lively time with friends, ready to buy drinks
And they're all dolled up
Describing people as looking their best
DJ please don't let me down
Pleading with the DJ not to disappoint
When you gonna play that song, now
Reiterating the desire for the song to be played immediately
When you gonna earn that pay
When will the DJ earn the pay by playing the song?
When you gonna play that song and make my day
Asking for the song to be played to improve the day
She said, play that song
A repetition of the request for the song to be played
The one that makes me go all night long
Describing the song's effect on energy lasting all night
The one that makes me think of you
The song triggers thoughts of a specific person
That's all you gotta do
Simply asking for the song to be played again
Hey, play that song (play that song)
A repetition of the request to play the song
The one the makes me stay out till dawn (out till dawn)
Highlights the song's impact on staying out until morning
The one that makes me go, ooh
The song prompts excitement or a particular feeling
That's all you gotta do (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Reiterating the simplicity of just playing the requested song
Hey, Mr. Guitar
Asking the guitarist to start playing the requested song
When you gonna strum it
Asking when the guitar will start strumming the song
My girl just heard this song and you should play it 'cause she loves it
Expressing how much someone else loves the song and wants it played
Can you get me off the hook, get them fingers picking now
Requesting the guitarist to start playing, offering money as an incentive
I'll throw some money in your cup
Offering money as an encouragement for playing the song
Mister, please don't let me down
Pleading for the guitarist not to disappoint
When you gonna play that song, now
Reiterating the request for the song to be played immediately
Why you gotta hesitate
Questioning why there's hesitation in playing the song
When you gonna play that song and make my day
Asking for the song to be played to improve the day
She said, play that song (play that song)
Repetition of the request for the song to be played
The one that makes me go all night long (all night long)
Reinforces the idea of the song's lasting energetic effect
The one that makes me think of you
The song triggers thoughts of a specific person
That's all you gotta do
Simply asking for the song to be played again
Hey, play that song (play that song)
Repetition of the request to play the song
The one the makes me stay out till dawn (out till dawn)
Emphasizing the impact of the song on staying out until morning
The one that makes me go, ooh
The song prompts excitement or a particular feeling
That's all you gotta do
Reiterating the simplicity of just playing the requested song
Oh, wait till you see my baby move
Anticipation of the joy of seeing someone dance
Move, move, wait till you see my baby move
Encouraging excitement for witnessing someone's dance moves
Move, move, oh, come on now
Inviting someone to showcase their dance skills
Play that song
A repetition of the request to play a specific song
The one that makes her go all night long
Describing the effect of the song on someone's energy lasting all night
The one that makes her think of me
The song triggers thoughts of the requester
That's all you gotta do
Simply asking for the song to be played again
Hey, that's all you gotta do
Reiteration of the simplicity of just playing the requested song
