I went to a party last Saturday night
I didn't get laid I got in a fight uh-huh
It ain't no big thing
Late for my job and the traffic was bad
Had to borrow 10 bucks from my old man uh-huh
It ain't no big thing

I went to a party last Saturday night
I told you that story would be alright uh-huh
It ain't no big thing

But I know what I like

And I know what you like
I know you like dancing with me oh yeah

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly

Had a few beers getting high
Sitting watching the time go by uh-huh

Nothing to eat and no T.V.
Looking in the mirror don't get it for me uh-huh
It ain't no big thing

But I know what I like
I know I like dancing with you
And I know what you like
I know you like dancing with me oh yeah

Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
Come on pretty baby kiss me deadly

Kiss me once
