See ya from across the room

It's Friday night and
I'm going to a party 
With my man, to dance
As soon as we get in
He is lost with his friends and 
I'm there, in a trance

I can tell that someone's looking at me
And I didn't come here by myself
But he left me here now someone else wants me
So it must mean he didn't care
I'm goin' on

[Chorus]
See ya from across the room
Like you want to know me
If you want to make a move
Meet me on the dance floor
Though I'm here with someone else
He's not what I'm looking for
Instead I've seen him 'cross the room
Meet me on the dance floor

As the night goes on
Each glance makes me wonder
What is on, your mind
More than a dance as you pull 
Up to me it feels, alright

I can tell that someone's looking at me
And I didn't come here by myself
But he left me here now someone else wants me
So it must mean he didn't care
I'm goin' on

[Chorus: x2]

Let me know what you want to do
Can't you tell that I'm missing you
I'm lettin' you know that your right on time
Cause I'm lookin' for someone else tonight

[Chorus: x2]

Meet me on the dance floor(3x fading)
