[vocal improvisation recommended]
(woo! woo!)
(woo! woo!)
[Chorus – RHCP groove + ad-libs]
Love it up, shake it down, let it ride [yeah yeah]
Spin it, drip it, burn it inside [come on now]
Ooh-oh, yeah, we roll, we slide [woo!]
Heat it up, let it fill your mind [hey!]
(woo! woo!)
⸻
[Verse 1]
Plug the gaps with a four-letter word
Red hearts drawn where nothing’s heard
Add lace
sell it
whatever
it’s absurd
(woo! woo!)
Soldiers shout it
glitter knives slurred
Seedlings pop up through dirt like fools
(Scream it loud!) Shouting love
breaking all the rules (woo! woo!)
Rub it on your skin
(woo! woo!)
taste it, feel it burn [yeah]
Messy, raw
it’s ours to learn (come on!)
(woo! woo!)
[Chorus]
Love it up, shake it down, let it ride [yeah yeah]
Spin it, drip it, burn it inside [come on now]
Ooh-oh, yeah, we roll, we slide [woo!]
Heat it up, let it fill your mind [hey!]
⸻
[Verse 2]
Then it’s us
word too small to hold
Four letters
standing
brash and bold
(woo! woo!)
Stars press down
cold as ice
(Fear’s alive!)
Fear hides where love should slice (oh yeah)
Ooh-oh, a vowel cuts metallic and thin (come on!)
Grip the cliff
let the chaos in (woo!)
(Fall or fly!)
Fall or stay
ride the edge tonight (yeah yeah)
Hold me close
let’s catch the light (hey!)
(woo! woo!)
[Chorus]
Love it up, shake it down, let it ride [yeah yeah]
Spin it, drip it, burn it inside [come on now]
Ooh-oh, yeah, we roll, we slide [woo!]
Heat it up, let it fill your mind [hey!]
⸻
[Verse 3]
Lips wet with wine
eyes on fire
Arms wrap tight
tangled desire
(woo! woo!)
Hair in my face
heat in the room
(This is it!) This ain’t saints
it’s sweet perfume (woo!)
Not whitewashed bliss
I want the mess
Sweat, laughs, kisses
nothing less [yeah]
Bodies collide
hearts in flame
(Say my name!)
Say it loud
raw, call my name (come on!)
(woo! woo!)
Love it up, shake it down, let it ride [yeah yeah]
Spin it, drip it, burn it inside [come on now]
Ooh-oh, yeah, we roll, we slide [woo!]
Heat it up, let it fill your mind [hey!]
⸻
[Outro ]
[hey!] Fade it out, let it take your soul Ooh-oh, yeah, we ride, we roll [woo!]
[come on now] Spin it, drip it, under the sun Love it up, shake it down, feel it run [yeah yeah]
(woo! woo!)
(woo! woo!)
[hey!] Burn it up, let it fill your mind Ooh-oh, yeah, we roll, we slide [woo!]
(Drag me through!) Drag me through the fire (come on!)
(Scream it loud!) Love it, love it, love it, love it (woo!)
[hey!] Crash into me, let the rhythm drop Love it up, burn it down, don’t stop [woo!]
[come on now] Spin it, flip it, move your feet Ooh-oh, ride it out, feel the heat [yeah yeah]
(woo! woo!)
Ooh-oh, ride it out, feel the heat [yeah yeah]
(woo! woo!)
Ooh-oh, ride it out, feel the heat [yeah yeah]
