What would we do?

What would we do?

What would we do?

First we gon' move our bodies closer to the floor

Letting the rhythm take us somewhere physical

What would we do

If we gon' let our feelings get emotional?

All I want to do is tell you I love

What would we do?

First we gon' move our bodies closer to the floor

Letting the rhythm take us somewhere physical

What would we do

If we gon' let our feelings get emotional?

All I want to do is tell you I love you

Stepping two-by-two

From across the room

To tell you I love you

We can go all night

Yeah it feels so right

Ain't no one above you

Let me free your mind

Let me take you high

Just know that I feel you

What would we do?

We should take that chance

Oh it's in our hands tonight

What would we do?

What would we do?

First we gon' move our bodies closer to the floor

Letting the rhythm take us somewhere physical

What would we do?

If we gon' let our feelings get emotional

All I want to do is tell you I love you

What would we do?

What would we do?

First we gon' move our bodies closer to the floor

Letting the rhythm take us somewhere physical

What would we do

If we gon' let our feelings get emotional?

All I want to do is tell you I love

What would we do?

First we gon' move our bodies closer to the floor

Letting the rhythm take us somewhere physical

What would we do?

If we gon' let our feelings get emotional

All I want to do is tell you I love

What would we what would we what would we

What would we what would we what would we do?

What would we what would we what would we

All I want to do is tell you I love you
