Lyrics:

[English]

They say, "Oh my God, I see the way you shine

Take your hands, my dear, and place them both in mine"

You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by

And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time

And oh my, I, I, I like your style

You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry

And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say

"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh

I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"

They say

"Move for me, move for me, move for me, ayy-ayy-ayy

And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

I said, "Oh my God, I see you walking by

Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes"

Just like a monkey, I've been dancin' my whole life

But you just beg to see me dance just one more time

Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time

And oh my, I, I, I like your style

You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry

And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say

"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh

I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"

They say

"Move for me, move for me, move for me, ayy-ayy-ayy

And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

They say

"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"

They say

"Move for me, move for me, move for me, ayy-ayy-ayy

And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (do it all again, do it all again, do it all again)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh (do it all again, do it all again, do it all again)

Whoa-ah, ah-ah!

They say

"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh

I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"

And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"

They say

"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
