I caught you smiling I know I've seen you here before How come you're hiding? Hey don't you want to hit the floor? The place is crowded Or maybe you don't like the beat I got a two-track playing in my head So let me take you somewhere else instead Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends I want to take you where the night never ends I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets We feel the rhythm We've got the music on our side If we go with 'em I'll bet we'll have a wonderful ride Your hands are cold So maybe we could make some heat Love is always born on a chance So wrap around me and baby let's dance Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends I want to take you where the night never ends I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends I want to take you where the night never ends I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets
