[Chorus]
One hundred and twenty five
Beats to, beats to the minute
One hundred and twenty five
You get the notion with the motion
Then you're out on the floor
Fahrenheit, one hundred and two (Oh)
Centigrade, it's getting to you
Your heart is beating (Beating), eight to the bar
You can't control it so you hold it
Then you're out on the floor
On the floor
You feel it coming to ya
On the floor
You know it's getting through ya
On the floor
You can't control the feeling
Let it go
[Verse 1]
See the faces passing
Smile in time
(Try and smile in time)
You say, Hey! Can I take you home tonight?
(See the faces passing)
But she knows that you're throwin' a line
She's heard it before, she'll hear it again
(All in line)
It's the same pitch every time
(All in line)
Change your line of patter
Make her laugh, not at her
She says her friend wants to say hello
(Change your line of patter)
But you really don't wanna go
It's her you're throwing your glances to
(Make her laugh, not at her)
Her that you want to know
Don't let her stray
It's a Saturday night
The boys are after trouble
You're in for a fight
Ooh
[Chorus]
One hundred and twenty five
Beats to, beats to the minute
One hundred and twenty five
You get the notion with the motion
Then you're out on the floor
Fahrenheit, one hundred and two (Oh)
Centigrade, it's getting to you
Your heart is beating (Beating), eight to the bar
You can't control it so you hold it
Then you're out on the floor
On the floor
You feel it coming to ya
On the floor
You know it's getting through ya
On the floor
You can't control the feeling
Let it go
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
See the faces passing
Smile in time
(Try and smile in time)
She says if you're lookin' to take me home
(See the faces passing)
I'd better not be in late
But the look on her face, the smile in her eyes say
(All in line, all in line)
Baby I'm gonna wait
See the faces swimming
Hear the music dimming
I'm all danced out, I'm all done in
(See the faces swimming)
And I'm starting to talk out of tune
We can go on a ride, we can jump in a boat
(Hear the music dimming)
We can dance by the light of the moon
One hundred and twenty five, ooh
Beats to, beats to the minute
Ooh
