Lyrics[]
One day while my light is glowin'
I'll be in my castle golden
But until the gates are open
I just wanna feel this moment
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I just wanna feel this moment
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I just wanna feel this moment
Mr. Worldwide
Christina Aguilera
(Woo, feel this moment)
Reporting live from the tallest building in Tokyo
Long ways from them hard ways, filled with zoes and oye's
Dade County always, 3-0-5, all day
And, now, baby, we can parlay or, baby, we can party (Heh)
She read books (Hahaha), especially about red rooms and tie-ups (Yeah)
I got her hooked, huh
'Cause she seen me in a suit with the red tie tied up
Meet and greet, nice to meet ya
But time is money, only difference is I own it
Now let's stop time and enjoy this moment, dale
One day while my light is glowin'
I'll be in my castle golden
But until the gates are open
I just wanna feel this moment
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I just wanna feel this moment
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I just wanna feel this moment
Woo
Come on, feel this moment
Woo
(Woo, feel this moment)
I see the future but live for the moment
Make sense, don't it? Ha
Now make dollars, I mean billions (Yeah)
I'm a genius, I mean brilliant (Brilliant)
The streets is what schooled him (Schooled him)
And made him slicker than Slick Rick the Ruler (Yeah)
I've lost a lot and learned a lot
But I'm still undefeated like Shula
I'm far from cheap (Ah-haha)
I break down companies with all my peeps (That's right)
Baby, we can travel the world
And I can give you and all you can see
Time is money, only difference is I own it
Like a stopwatch, let's stop time and enjoy this moment, dale
One day while my light is glowin'
I'll be in my castle golden
But until the gates are open
I just wanna feel this moment
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I just wanna feel this moment
Oh-woah-oh-oh-woah
I just wanna feel this moment
Woo
Feel this moment
Come on, feel this moment
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I just wanna feel this moment
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I just wanna feel this moment
