Commander Lyrics

[Intro: David Guetta]
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance

[Verse 1: Kelly Rowland]
I feel like the DJ is my bodyguard
You see the way he keeps me safe
With the treble and that bass
I feel free enough to party hard
This dress won't go to waste
Feels like I own the place, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
V.I.P to be the boss
You see the way these people stare
Watching how I fling my hair
I'm a dance floor lover
Baby, there's no other
Who do it like I do it, yeah

[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
From here on out, I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
No fear, no doubt, I'll provide the answer (I'll provide the answer)
Right now I command you to dance
I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
Now I command you to dance
I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
Right now I command you to
[Post-Chorus: Kelly Rowland, David Guetta]
Dance
I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
Dance, dance, dance
I'll provide the answer (I'll provide the answer)
Dance

[Verse 2: Kelly Rowland]
Ain't no reason to celebrate
But you know we gon' have a ball
Champagne spilling' from the wall
And I'll be partying 'til hella late
But I ain't worried, not at all
I just give my driver a call, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
Tell him pick me up at 8 AM
No, we ain't stopping right here
We'll take the party to the crib
Let's go all night, baby
You won't find no lady
Who does it like I does it, yeah

[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
From here on out, I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
No fear, no doubt, I'll provide the answer (I'll provide the answer)
Right now I command you to dance
I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
Now I command you to dance
I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
Right now I command you to
[Bridge: Kelly Rowland]
The club is jam packed
So DJ, where you at?
I know you got my back
So make that bass attack
Let's make these people move
You know I need some room
To do what I do, I'm 'bout to act a fool
Turn the lights out

[Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
From here on out, I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
No fear, no doubt, I'll provide the answer (I'll provide the answer)
Right now I command you to dance
I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
Now I command you to dance
I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
Right now I command you to

[Outro: Kelly Rowland, David Guetta]
Dance
I'll be your commander (I'll be your commander)
Dance, dance, dance, dance
I'll provide the answer (I'll provide the answer)
Dance, dance, dance

About

Genius Annotation

Following the success of “When Love Takes Over,” her hit collaboration with David Guetta, Rowland Rowland mined her dance audience a second time for “Commander.” Pitched as the lead single from her album Here I Am, “Commander” finds Rowland taking on a domineering, fearsome persona for a special-effects heavy music video that pits her against herself with two rival armies of dancers. As expected, the song topped the Billboard Dance Charts in the US.
