She pulled me in so easily Right from the start She played me like I was a melody One bang on the drum and she funks me with a sweet kiss She's touching me with lovers caress No I can't fight it She's got my soul She's captured me Holds me hostage when I hear that beat I won't take these shackles off my feet 'Cause they're the only thing that make me feel free That's why I'm a slave to the music No I won't stop 'til my heart pops out I'm a slave to the music No I won't give in 'til I stop breathing She got me rockin' She got me movin' She got me dancin' She got me rockin' She got me movin' She got me dancin' I don't wanna be saved Slave to the music I don't wanna be saved I'm a slave to the music, yeah yeah It's 4 'o clock, And I'm barely alive But keep on givin' It's the only way to survive But I can't help but shuffle my feet Moving like a zombie, chasin' the beat She lures me in oh sweet surrender Locks me down like a repeat offender I won't take these shackles off my feet 'Cause they're the only thing that make me feel free That's why I'm a slave to the music No I won't stop 'til my heart pops I'm a slave to the music No I won't give in 'til I stop breathing She got me rockin' She got me movin' She got me dancin' She got me rockin' She got me movin' She got me dancin' I don't wanna be saved I'm a slave to the music I don't wanna be saved, no no I'm a slave to the music If you feel for me put your hands out now If you feel for me put your hands out now ? your hands out If you feel like a zombie, shout it out now If you feel like a zombie, shout it out now She got me rockin' She got me movin' She got me dancin' She got me rockin' She got me movin' She got me dancin' She got me rockin' She got me movin' She got me dancin' She got me rockin' She got me movin' She got me dancin' I don't wanna be saved I'm a, I'm a slave to the music I'm a slave to the music, yeah I'm a, I'm a slave to the music I'm a slave to the music, yeah yeah Don't want to be saved now
