Dance the Night Away

Ugh. I kinda hate this song. The only way you could sing it is if you were performing a concert . . . and if people really, really loved you. And then why would you sing something like this? Also! Not sure if you noticed by now, but some of the songs are written for men to sing. (I think this one’s a duet?) Don’t worry, that doesn’t last very long. We’ll get to the better stuff soon, I promise.

Hut! Everybody!

Get your party selves off your feet

Come on and show me how you bust your freak

‘Cause I got me a song to sing

Hey, out there

Yeah, you with your hands waving in the air

Hey, out there

Yeah, you giving me that “he’s – so – cool” – stare

 

Don’t tell me you don’t care

Or throw this feeling to the sky

Show me what we both share

And we’re going to dance tonight

‘Cause there’s this feeling inside of me

Whenever the music plays

And I just want to let it free

So let’s dance the night away

 

Oh! If you’re anybody anywhere, hearing this tune

You’re going to want to jump your feet

Want to shake a move or two (that’s right)

Let your body fly out there with the sound waves

‘Cause I know that no matter what you say

You want to come with me and dance the night away

 

Yeah, if you’re anybody anywhere, here’s what we do

Just got to swing your arms down low or way up high

The choice is up to you (all right)

Let your body crash, go through a wild phase

We’re going to have a lot of fun today

Make your way over to me and dance the night away

 

Like a bolt of lightning struck right through me

Electrifying counts and dance with a new beat

Doubts never threw me

Shouts ever woozy

Looking so surprised ‘cause y’all knew me

Let’s go! To the dance floor

‘Cause you know you want more

Let me show you something I adore

You can’t ignore

Now you’re doped ‘cause I showed another open door

And hope that you can follow

See what’s in store

Now you cope and you land

And you feel it in your hand

And I’m bringing it out

‘Cause I’m a brand new band

Yeah, I’m bringing it out

Turn the music up loud

And shout with the crowd

So you’re making me proud

Make me proud, make me want to take it on

Make me want to show you exactly what I’m made of

I’m made of the feeling that you feel when you’re with me

So come on, how ‘bout you dance with me

 

Oh! If you’re anybody anywhere, hearing this tune

You’re going to want to jump your feet

Want to shake a move or two (that’s right)

Let your body fly out there with the sound waves

‘Cause I know that no matter what you say

You want to come with me and dance the night away

 

Yeah, if you’re anybody anywhere, here’s what we do

Just got to swing your arms down low or way up high

The choice is up to you (all right)

Let your body crash, go through a wild phase

We’re going to have a lot of fun today

Make your way over to me and dance the night away

 

Hup! How’re we doing out here?

If you’re having fun let me hear you cheer

Pick yourselves up, get out into the spotlight

This is what you do when you’re left with a hot night

Starlight above your head or maybe even not

It’s alright, that don’t mean you’re ever going to stop

And don’t stop, you know you could feel it in here

I could see it in your eyes

I could sense it in the air

And you care ‘cause you want to shake it out of your bones

And no one wants to hear the ol’ get – on – home

And no one’s going and no one’s gone

‘Cause this is the way the night is done

We’re going to dance with this floor like we own her

‘Cause this party ain’t over

 

Oh! If you’re anybody anywhere, hearing this tune

You’re going to want to jump your feet

Want to shake a move or two (that’s right)

Let your body fly out there with the sound waves

‘Cause I know that no matter what you say

You want to come with me and dance the night away

 

Yeah, if you’re anybody anywhere, here’s what we do

Just got to swing your arms down low or way up high

The choice is up to you (all right)

Let your body crash, go through a wild phase

We’re going to have a lot of fun today

Make your way over to me and dance the night away
