Meet me in a restaurant
Meet me on the top of the world
Meet me and we'll talk the language of love

I'll meet you anywhere you want
I'll meet you on a ballroom floor
Meet me and we'll float to a level above

I wish you'd drop what you're doing
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation
Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Everyway, rightaway
Oh let's go

Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way, there's no way
No, no way

Meet you on a mountain top
Meet you at the end of the block
As long as we can talk the language of love

I'll take you in my arms again
I'll take you to the edge of time
Together we can reach for the heavens above

I wish you'd drop what you're doing
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation
Let's go there today
Go today, go today
Everyway, rightaway
Oh let's go

Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I want your love
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I'm saying
Take your cue from me now
I'm saying baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way

Meet me on the dance floor and we'll dance to the rhythm
Get you feet in motion and we'll dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm of love

Oh,baby
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I want your love
Let's go baby, let's go baby, come on
'Cause baby, I'm saying
Take your cue from me now
I'm saying baby, let's go
Will you listen to me
I'm saying baby, come on now
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no
Let's go 'cause we can't hold back no more
There's no way
