Later in the year it was released internationally and peaked at number twelve in the Spanish singles chart.

It's close to midnight and I'm leaving now
I'm getting in the car and heading out
And I can't slow down
Cause I don't know how

You've got my number so we'll be fine
So go and use it just don't waste my time
Cause you're on my mind
And you know I'm right

You take my over
Stay with me
And we'll fade away

Look on the floor
And all is spinning around
Someone told me this was just a dance
Then take a chance and I'll give you more
Do you really think we have a chance

Devil's in your eyes
And he's looking at me
I know what you want
And you know what I need

Come and show me how
How do you get down

You take my over
Stay with me
And we'll fade away

Look on the floor
And all is spinning around
Someone told me this was just a dance
Then take a chance and I'll give you more
Do you really think we have a chance

Look on the floor
And all is spinning around
Someone told me this was just a dance
Then take a chance and I'll give you more
Do you really think we have a chance

Do you really think we have a chance?

Look on the floor
And all is spinning around
Someone told me this was just a dance
Then take a chance and I'll give you more
Do you really think we have a chance

In The 1980s, Bananarama were listed in the Guinness World Records as the all female group with the most chart entries in the world, a record which they still hold. Since 1992, Woodward and Dallin have continued Bananarama as a Duo. more »
