Get up on the floor

Dancin' all night long

Get up on the floor

Dancin' till the break of dawn

Get up on the floor

Dancin' till the break of dawn

Get up on the floor

Dancin'

All the time

My baby you on my mind

And I don't know why

Yeah but the feeling is fine

Can't you see

Honey you are for me

Though it weren't meant to be

Dancin' in the moonlight

Gazing at the stars so bright

Holding you until the sunrise

Sleeping until the midnight

Everytime when I look in your eyes

That smile was crying that you were mine

Do you know, your love is true, I know

You are the best thing that has happened to me

Get up on the floor

Dancin' all night long

Get up on the floor

Dancin' till the break of dawn

Get up on the floor

Dancin' till the break of dawn

Get up on the floor

Dancin'

Dancin' is what to do

Dancin's when I think of you

Dancin's what clears my soul

Dancin's what makes me hope

Dancin' is what to do

Dancin's when I think of you
