About Dancin'

"Dancin'" is a song by American R&B group Guy recorded for their third studio album Guy III (2000). The song was released as the album's debut single in October 1999. Although the group was long past their late-1980s/early-1990s heyday at this point, "Dancin'" would become Guy's highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 (and their only song to crack the top 40) to date, reaching #19 on that chart. It was also a top 5 hit on the R&B chart.

Don't you worry 'bout the crowd (No one)
'Cause there's no one else around (Ho...)

I can freak it if you like (You)
I can make you feel alright
I can serve it to you right
'Cause I'd like to explore your body tonight (Whoa...oh...oh...)

I like to think that I'm the only one she sees

When we're out on the floor (Out on the floor)
And I like to think that she'll be coming home with me (Yeah)
So I slowly move closer (Slowly)
Let her know that I want her

Baby, take my hand
And let me guide you to this dance of love [We'll be movin' so close]
Almost like we're makin' love
Baby, bring your body and let it bounce with me [Come on, come on, come on], hey...oh...

To the beat, to the drum
To the music, to the one
Don't you worry (Don?t you worry) 'bout the crowd (No, no, no)
'Cause there's no one else around (I can freak it)

I can freak it if you like (Oh)
I can make you feel alright (Alright)
I can serve it to you right (Oh...ho...ho...ho...)
'Cause I'd like to explore your body tonight

I like to think that I'm the only one she sees
When we're dancin'
When we're out on the floor (Out on the floor)
And I like to think that she'll be coming home with me
So I slowly move closer (Slowly)
Let her know that I want her (I want her)

I like to think that I'm the only one she sees (The only one)
When we're dancin' (Yeah)
When we're out on the floor (Out on the floor)
And I like to think (Yeah) that she'll be coming home with me (Yeah, yeah)
So I slowly move closer (Move closer)
Let her know that I want her
