I was wondering if you and me could spend a minute
On the floor up and close getting lost in it
I won't give up without a fight

I just wanna, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight

We're getting sweaty, hot and heavy in the crowd now
Loosen up and let you hands go down, down
Go with it girl, yeah just close your eyes, yeah

I feel the music moving through your body
Looking at you I can tell you want me
Don't stop keep moving till the morning light, yeah

When I saw you there, sitting all alone in the dark acting like you didn't have a care
I knew right then, you'd be mine, we'd be dancing the whole damn night, like
Oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on, oh baby

Break it down now, shake it like that, now bring it all back
To dance with me tonight
One more time, one more time, come on now
Do your thing, everybody sing

I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight
