"Back & Forth" lyrics

"Back & Forth"

[R. Kelly & Aaliyah:]
Let me see you go back (Move, it's the L-I-Y-A-H)
Let me see you come forth
Now let me see you go back (Move, it's the L-I-Y-A-H)
Let me see you come forth
Uh, let me see you go back (Move, it's the L-I-Y-A-H)
Let me see you come forth
Uh, let me see you go back (Move, it's the L-I-Y-A-H)
Let me see you come forth, yeah

[Aaliyah:]
It's Friday and I'm ready to swing
Pick up my girls and hit the party scene
Tonight, oh, it's alright, mmm
So get up and let this funky mellow groove
Get you in the mood
'Cause you know it's alright

So Mr. DJ, keep the music grooving (Keep on grooving)
Don't stop moving (Don't stop moving)
Let me see you, let me see you go

[Aaliyah & (R. Kelly):]
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Go back
Let me see you go
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
Alright
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
I wanna see you go
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
Come on
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Let me see you go
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
See you go back and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it, check it)

[Aaliyah:]
Now's the time for you to make your move to the dance floor
So throw your hands in the air
And wave 'em around like you just don't care, yeah
Who is the L-I-Y-A-H?
Ripping up the stage
I got jazz personality, G mentality, beats the Soul Train

So Mr. DJ, keep the music grooving (Keep on grooving)
Don't stop moving
Now let me see you go back and forth
Back and forth, yeah

(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth, oh
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth, oh
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Come on
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
And let me see you go

[R. Kelly:]
Hey, here's the formality
Get upon the floor, you see
Show your personality, be who you wanna be, tell me
[Aaliyah:]
See, can you feel the groove moving when I'm with you?
Hey, I wanna keep this party going on all night

[Aaliyah:]
So Mr. DJ, keep the music grooving (Keep on grooving)
Don't stop movin' (Don't stop movin')
Now let me see you go back and forth
Back and forth

(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Alright
Let me see you go
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Go back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Go back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Bring it back, thinking forth
Alright
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)
Back, back, forth, and forth
(Let me see you back and forth, now check it)

Who is the L-I-Y-A-H?
Who is the L-I-Y-A-H?
Who is the L-I-Y-A-H?
Who is the L-I-Y-A-H?
Who is the L-I-Y-A-H?
