I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
He wants to dance
He loves to dance
He's got to dance

Ohhh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Ohhh I love to love 
But there's no time for a romance
No No Nooooohhhh
Ohhh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance

The minute the band begins to swing it
He's on his feet to dig it
And dance the night away
Stop I'm spinning like a top
We'll dance until we drop
But if I had my way

Ohh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
He wants to dance
He loves to dance
He's got to dance

Ohh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Ohh I love to love 
But he won't give our love a chance
No No Noooooooohhhh

Ohh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance

Stop I'm spinning like a top
We'll dance until we drop
But if I had my way
Stop instead of going downtown
We'll stay at home and get down
To what i'm tryina say

Ohh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance 
Yeah yeah

Wooooooowww
I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Yes he does

Wooooooowww
I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Yes he does

I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Yes he does

I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Yes he does
