Lyrics:
And you can dance
For inspiration
Come on
I’m waitingChorus:
Get into the groove
Boy you’ve got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it beMusic can be such a revelation
Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm’s right
I hope this feeling never ends tonightBridge:
Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I’m tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else(chorus)
Gonna get to know you in a special way
This doesn’t happen to me every day
Don’t try to hide it love wears no disguise
I see the fire burning in your eyes(bridge)
(chorus)Intermediate:
Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body, and move in time
Now I now you’re mineYou’ve got to
(chorus lyrics)
(bridge)
(intermediate)Now I know you’re mine, now I know you’re mine
Now I know you’re mine, now I know you’re mine
You’ve got to(chorus)
(chorus lyrics)
(repeat and fade)
