[English]

I'm a moon-walker

I'm like MJ up in the clouds

I know it sounds awkward

I'm filthy as charged, filthy as charged

You're a sweet talker

But, darlin', whatcha gonna say now?

The midnight marauders

The higher never come down, never come down

You can't take me anywhere, anywhere

You can't take me anywhere, anywhere

I'm still uninvited, I'm still gonna light it

I'm going insane and I don't care

(Whatever they tell you...)

Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime

Unless you do it without me

Unless you do it without me

Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime

Unless you do it, do it

Do it, do it, do it without me

Without me

And if you're night crawlin' with him

I won't take it lying down

I've got a few lawyers

And you're guilty as charged, guilty as charged

We could be waltzin', yeah

But darlin' don't be throwing shade now

Don't call me Saint California if you're at another altar

Just gimme your vows, gimme your vows, yeah

You can't take me anywhere, anywhere

You can't take me anywhere, anywhere

I'm still uninvited, I'm still gonna light it

I'm going insane and I don't care

(Whatever they tell you...)

Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime

Unless you do it without me

Unless you do it without me

Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime

Unless you do it, do it

Do it, do it, do it without me

Without me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, what's come over you

Baby, just tell me now

Ooh, ooh, ooh, won't we make that move

'Cause I just wanna be

Your boyfriend, girlfriend oh yeah

And I just wanna be

Your boyfriend, girlfriend oh yeah, oh yeah

(Whatever they tell you...)

Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime

Unless you do it without me

Unless you do it without me

Dancing, dancing, dancing's not a crime

Unless you do it, do it

Do it, do it, do it without me

Without me

Do it, do it, do it without me

Without me

Without me

Without me
