Lyrics:

You know we don't care at all that that we see you up up against the wall
heh, all right, heh
2-step

I was just doing my thing, hanging out at the spot
You know the place we go, the music John Blaze hot
And everybody was feeling the D.J. (the D.J.)
The smoke cleared, and I saw this beautiful lady

The lights went low, and the disco ball came down
She walked up to me slow, and you know what happens now
The girl was fine and she knew she had game
What more do I have to say?

Chorus:
She took my hand (oh) we never said a word at all
We started grinding, shorty had me up against the wall
Ask me about tomorrow, you know that I don't care at all.
I just got caught up when she had me up against the wall.

You know we don't care at all
We just get caught up when you're up against the wall
We don't, we don't care at all
You know we don't care at all
that that let me see you up up againstthe wall

It's almost two o'clock, it's time to make my move
The after hours spot is where I'm going to
'Cuz I've gotta have some more, looking for
Somebody to hit the dance floor

And lucky for me, I see a fine young lady's eyeing me

The lights are low and her friends are all around
I walked up to her slow, and you know what happens now
She turned around and she worked in the worst way (worst way)
What more do I have to say?

Chorus

Shorty had me up against the wall

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who's the cutest one you saw?
She's underneath the disco ball, the disco ball, the disco ball.
Standing next to strobe lights, dancing hot, looking tight
The freaks sure do come out at night (out at night, night, night, night)

What more do I have to say?
2-step

Chorus x 2

I just got caught up when you had me up against the wall.
We don't, we don't care at all.  You know we don't care at all
just get caught up when you're up against the wall.
We don't, we don't care at all.  You know we don't care at all
let let me see ya up up against the wall.
We don't, we don't care at all.  You know we don't care at all
just get caught up when you're up against the wall.
We don't, we don't care at all.  You know we don't care at all
let let me see ya up up against the wall.

This could be considered the Digital Get Down of Celebrity, but this song takes a current British trend (2-step) and transforms it, bringing NSync's style of Pop into a different avenue.

The music is quite catchy and up-tempo.  The lyrics are simple and repetitive, using current slang expressions that may not be understood in years to come (e.g. shorty).

I like the sequence rhyme in the second verse (more, for, floor), although it doesn't follow the first verse standard.

Grade (on a 5-point scale):
Lyrics:  4.1
Music:  3.8
Overall:  4.2
