I used to go out to parties And stand around 'Cause I was too nervous To really get down But my body yearned to be free I got up on the floor and found Someone to choose me No more standin' along the side walls Now I've got myself together, baby And I'm havin' a ball Long as you prove it There's always a chance Somebody watches Might wanna make romance Move your body, ooo baby, you dance all night To the groove and feel all right Everybody's groovin' on like a fool But if you see me, top down, let me in Baby just party high and low Let me step into your erotic zone Move it up Turn it 'round Ooo shake it down Owwww You can love me when you want to babe This is such a groovy party baby We're here face to face Everybody's swingin' This is such a groovy place All the young ladies are so fine! You're movin your body easy with no doubts I know what you thinkin' baby You wanna turn me out Think I'm gonna let you do it babe Keep on dancin' Got to give it up Keep on dancin' Got to give it up Keep on dancin' Got to give it up Keep on dancin' Got to give it up Keep on dancin' Got to give it up Keep on dancin' You got to get it Got to give it up Keep on dancin' Got to give it up
