[Verse 1]
I went out walking, humming a song for my baby
He's on my mind, I'm passing the time while he's far away
He doesn't know it, it's how I show him I care
Moving my body, throwing my hands in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
I looked around to make sure nobody saw me crying
'Cause if he were here right now, he would look at me and he would say
Say, say, say
[Chorus]
I just wanna dance for love
Celebrate it just because
I just wanna dance for love
Celebrate it just because I can
[Verse 2]
I remember last summer, I spent it crying most of thе time
Now he's lifting the fog, thе stage lights come on, I'm the star of the show
Well, he doesn't know it, it's how I show him I care
Mmm, moving my body, throwing my hands in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
I went for a walk down Franklin Avenue
I knocked on a door, it used to be his door, but that don't matter no more
'Cause I got everything I need right here
[Chorus]
I just wanna dance for love
Celebrate it just because I got you
I just wanna dance for love
Celebrate it just because I can
[Bridge]
Ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ha
You make me wanna, you make me wanna
You make me wanna, you make me wanna, you
[Chorus]
I just wanna dance for love
Celebrate it just because
I just wanna dance for love
Celebrate it just because I can
I just wanna dance for love
Celebrate it just because
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Celebrate it)
[Outro]
Uh, do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? (Celebrate it)
Uh, do I make you wanna? (Celebrate it)
(Celebrate it)
(Celebrate it)
(Celebrate it)
(Celebrate it)

I began writing this song with John V and Ryan Hahn as summer was coming to an end. At the time I had been filling most of my afternoons listening to Roy Orbison and Minnie Riperton for some California comfort. When the melody was born in the studio with the boys I thought of Roy and all of the joy...
