There was a time 
Everybody was around and I was dancing with you
We all went down to the party Friday night 
And had a drink there or two
Oh what a heat
I feel love and heart beat
It's electricity
Majestic sound, round and round and round, got you next to me

Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see

Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see

Time after time everybody came around
And I was dancing with you
Don't know your name,
Making me ashamed
To feel the way that I do
The lights went out 
Couldn't leave without you, this is the place to be
I won't forget
The greatest times I've had when I was dancing with you

Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a woman in love
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a woman in love so high

Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see

Feel my heartbeat
Feel my heartbeat
Feel my heartbeat

There was a time when everybody was around and I was dancing with you
Don't know your name,
Making me ashamed
To feel the way that I do
The lights went out 
Couldn't leave without you, this is the place to be
I won't forget
The greatest times I've had when I was dancing with you
