Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

And stand around
'Cause I was too nervous

And my body yearned to be free
So I got up on the floor and found

Now I've got myself together, baby

And I'm havin' a ball

I'm gonna make romance

With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night
Get down and prove it, feel all right

Keep on dancin'
Got to give it up
