We can dance, dance, dance 
Clap your hands, hands, hands 
All night, if you're in the mood 
Do what you want to do 
All night long 

Happy days are here 
So leave your cares behind 
Just relax your mind 
It's so easy to do it 

Just enjoy yourself 
If the feeling's right 
Get your groove on tonight 
Take your time tonight 
Everything's alright 
Ain't nothin' but a party 

We can dance, dance, dance 
Clap your hands, hands, hands 
All night, if you're in the mood 
Do what you want to do 
All night long 

Get up on the floor 
Don't worry 'bout a thing 
The rhythm's got you now 
So come on, get into it 

Just enjoy yourself 
If the feeling's right 
Get your groove on tonight 
Take your time tonight 
Everything's alright 
Ain't nothin' but a party 

We can dance, dance, dance 
Clap your hands, hands, hands 
All night, if you're in the mood 
Do what you want to do 
All night long 

Have a good time (uh huh) 
Lay back, relax (free) 
Just free your mind 
Let the music take control of you 

If it's a hit then I musta did it 
If it's not then I wasn't with it 
Bad Boy stay committed 
Whether hip-hop or R&B 
Featuring Faith Evans, co-starring me P. Diddy 
You know I got the key to your city 
Unlock the door, rock some more 
Beats we lace, Bad Boy heats the place 
We run R&B too cause we Keep the Faith 
Givin' the streets a taste 
Blaze the charts (Faith: I remember) 
In case you forgot, First Lady be makin' it hot 
Ain't nobody takin the spot 
Now Faith instead of pain 
Comin' through with a better grain 
In the dash, cell phone better range 
Get the cash, stack paper for the whole four quarters 
Man some things never chance, you feel me? 
Let's make 'em dance 

We can dance, dance, dance 
Clap your hands, hands, hands 
All night, if you're in the mood 
Do what you want to do 
All night long 

Have a good time (have a) 
Lay back, relax (free) 
Just free your mind 
Let the music take control of you 

We can dance, dance, dance 
Clap your hands, hands, hands 
All night, if you're in the mood 
Do what you want to do 
All night long
