[Hook: John Legend]
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
[Verse 1: John Legend]
I see you move, I'm checking your smile
Working your back like, it's going out of style
Shake just a little bit faster
Shake just a little now girl
Dying to meet you, so let's mess around
Got an obsession, of us getting down
Come just a little bit closer
I just need permission, so...
[Hook: John Legend]
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
We could go all night
Give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
[Interlude: Andre 3000 and (John Legend)]
One, two, three - green light
Well, if it's what it seems like
They way you're movin' baby let's me know that's it's gon' be right
I'm - (I'm ready to go right now) Ah, ah
I'm - (I'm ready to go right now)
A-one, two, three - red light
I wanna see what your bed's like
But if I be your buddy, get you studied, is yo' head right?
I'm - (I'm ready to go right now) Ah, ah
I'm - (I'm ready to go right now)
[Verse 2: John Legend]
Do I have a girlfriend? Well, technically no (NO!)
If you be my girlfriend, then I'll make it so
You'll be my only true lover
No competition, no other (No other)
Baby, it's just, the thrill of the chase
I've got a feeling, I'm winning this race
Baby, I'm in much closer
I just need permission, so...
[Hook: John Legend]
Give me the green light

[Verse 3: Andre 3000]
So I went hard like Medusa staring at me
I told her, "Let's go, let's blow this lame n***a factory"
She said, "What kind of girl do you think that I are?
The kind that you meet in a bar?
You think you can get whatever you want 'cause you some kind of star"
No, I'm a comet; I just want you woman
Hey, if I were you then it would be me that I'd go home with
Three, the one and only, one thing you ain't considered
I heard you when you told your girl, "Ooh, he can get it" - admit it
You did it! Let's hop a cab, and split it
I'm kiddin'! We both going to where you livin'!
HAH! I got you giggling like a piglet - oh, that's the ticket?
I hope you more like, Anita Baker, than Robin Givens
No, I don't know that lady, so let me quit it
I'm just style-freein', freestylin' which I seldom do
This is what I'm tellin' you, to the bed I'm nailin' you
Like I've been in jail for two, years and then they done let me loose
[Hook: John Legend + (Andre 3000 talking)]
Give me the green light
(You got you one, Legend!)
Give me just one night
(Sometimes you gotta step from behind that piano)
I'm ready to go right now
(And let 'em know what's going on)
I'm ready to go right now
(Even Stevie Wonder got down sometimes...Hahaha!)
We could go all night
Give me the green light
(I'm ready to go!)
I'm ready to go right now
(My mandate can't wait)
I'm ready to go right now
(Participate)
