Lyrics & Translation

[English]

And you can dance

For inspiration

Come on

I'm waiting

For inspiration

And you can dance

Music can be such a revelation

Dancin' around you feel the sweet sensation

We might be lovers if the rhythm's right

I hope this feeling never ends tonight

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free

At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see

I'm tired of dancing here all by myself

Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove

Boy you've got to prove

Your love to me, yeah

Get up on your feet, yeah

Step to the beat

Boy what will it be

Gonna get to know you in a special way

This doesn't happen to me every day

Don't try to hide it love wears no disguise

I see the fire burning in your eyes

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free

At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see

I'm tired of dancing here all by myself

Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove

Boy you've got to prove

Your love to me, yeah

Get up on your feet, yeah

Step to the beat

Boy what will it be? (Yeah)

Live out your fantasy here with me

Just let the music set you free

Touch my body, and move in time

Now I know you're mine

Get into the groove

Boy you've got to prove

Your love to me, yeah

Get up on your feet, yeah

Step to the beat

Boy what will it be?

Step to the, step to the, step to the beat

To get into the groove

Boy you've got to prove

Your love to me, yeah

Get up on your feet, yeah

Step to the beat

Boy what will it be

Now I know you're mine

Now I know you're mine

Now I know you're mine

Now I know you're mine
