[Intro: Justin Timberlake]
Hey, Madonna
I'm taking you to the club
Go
Uh
Feels good
Uh, uh
[Verse 1: Madonna & Justin Timberlake]
Move your body, catch me from across the floor
Everybody's watching, but I just wanna give you more (Uh)
Don't care about nothing (Yeah)
I've fallen for your love in the worst way (Uh, mm)
So move closer 'cause I can feel your body rise
The heat from you and I just start to fantasize
We're all alone now
And I don't care what people have to say
[Pre-Chorus: Madonna & Justin Timberlake, Madonna]
You don't have to be beautiful
To be understood
You don't have to be rich and famous
To be good
You just gotta give more, more, more
Than you ever have before
And you gotta move fast, fast, fast
If you want this good thing to last
[Chorus: Madonna & Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Justin Timberlake]
Let's dance tonight, dance tonight
And prove ourselves to the world
And we'll hold hands tonight, hands tonight
I'm just a boy and you're just a girl
I wanna dance tonight, dance tonight
Don't need no diamonds and pearls
So take a chance tonight, chance tonight
Let's prove ourselves to the world
[Post-Chorus: Madonna & Justin Timberlake]
Do it, do it, let me turn you on
Let the music pull you through it 'til the break of dawn
Do it, do it, while the night is young
Let the music pull you through it 'til the lights go on
[Verse 2: Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Madonna & Justin Timberlake]
Now we're in our zone (Do you wanna take it further?)
'Cause before too long, I'm gonna start to wonder
Are you a one trick pony
Or do you wanna keep running this race?
(I'm so into you) I've heard it all before
(So what should I do?) I told you, catch me on the floor
Don't spoil this moment
'Cause talk is cheap, I don't have time to waste
[Pre-Chorus: Madonna & Justin Timberlake, Madonna]
You don't have to be beautiful
To be understood
You don't have to be rich and famous
To be good
You just gotta give more, more, more
Than you ever have before
And you gotta move fast, fast, fast
If you want this good thing to last
[Chorus: Madonna & Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Justin Timberlake]
Let's dance tonight, dance tonight
And prove ourselves to the world
And we'll hold hands tonight, hands tonight
I'm just a boy and you're just a girl
I wanna dance tonight, dance tonight
Don't need no diamonds and pearls
So take a chance tonight, chance tonight
Let's prove ourselves to the world
[Post-Chorus: Madonna & Justin Timberlake]
Do it, do it, let me turn you on
Let the music pull you through it 'til the break of dawn
Do it, do it, while the night is young
Let the music pull you through it 'til the lights go on
[Outro: Justin Timberlake, Madonna]
Now dance (Woah)
Dance (Woah)
Dance, do you wanna take it further? (Woah)
Just dance
Woah
Cat— Cat— Cat— Catch me on the floor— floor
Woah
Cat— Cat— Cat— Catch me on the floor— floor

Madonna on the song and its sound:
That’s also a throwback to sort of like late 70’s early 80’s kind of, that whole Philly soul kind of, you know, kind of the sound that was happening in nightclubs when I first got to New York in yhe early 80’s as well.
