[English]

I don't think we should be here, I see no water or friends

But the music keeps hitting me like a ten out of ten

So I don't think (I've got something to say)

No, I don't think (I've got something to say)

Conversation is hearing you get it all off your chest

You can come over here to tell me again and again

What you think (I've got something to say)

No, I don't think

Move it side to side with your hands up high

Keep your customer satisfied and live your life

"DJs don't dance no more," they said

(DJs don't dance no more)

We wanna dance with all our friends

(DJs don't dance no more)

It's feeling like the music has been Heaven sent

And that there's no difference in between the tears and the sweat, uh

"DJs don't dance no more," they said

(DJs don't dance no more)

Move it side to side with your hands up high

Keep your customer satisfied and live your life

"DJs don't dance no more," they said

(DJs don't dance no more)

We wanna dance with all our friends

(DJs don't dance no more)

It's feeling like the music has been Heaven sent

And that there's no difference in between the tears and the sweat, uh

"DJs don't dance no more," they said

(DJs don't dance no more)

Get your feet wet

Teach 'em all to respect their mother

You gotta get your feet wet

Respect!

Respect your mother!

"DJs don't dance no more," they said

(DJs don't dance no more)

We wanna dance with all our friends

(DJs don't dance no more)

It's feeling like the music has been Heaven sent

And that there's no difference in between the tears and the sweat, uh

"DJs don't dance no more," they said

(DJs don't dance no more)

Gotta get your feet wet

Respect!

Respect your mother!
