The lyrics of the song “Oh, everybody, get down on the floor (Get down on the floor). I love the way you shake your thing” are similar to the lyrics to one of Michael’s solo songs, Get On The Floor, which was released a year before “Everybody” in 1979.
It had the lyrics: “So get on the floor. And da...
Everybody Lyrics
[Chorus]
Oh, everybody, get down on the floor (Get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more (Make me want some more)
[Verse 1]
I've had my days of standing on shaky grounds
I want my life so fancy-free
I know that I can do it
I have to let me be
And I've had enough
And I know what's right for me
[Pre-Chrorus]
I've done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let's dance and shout
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
[Chorus]
Oh, everybody, get down on the floor (Get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more (Make me want some more)
[Verse 2]
Listen
This time I'm leaving all my cares behind
I've tasted the good life and it's fine
No more to pain and strife, this life's waiting to be
And I've had enough
And I know what's right for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I've done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let's dance and shout
'Cause we're here to live so free
I've got to let me be
[Chorus]
Oh, everybody, get down on the floor (Get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more, babe (Make me want some more)
Oh, everybody, get down on the floor (Get down on the floor)
'Cause I love the way you move, shake your thing
You make me want some more, babe (Make me want some more)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, I've done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let's dance and shout
'Cause we're here to live so free
I've got to let me be
[Chorus]
Oh, everybody, gon' get down on the floor (Get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more, babe (Make me want some more)
Oh (Everybody) C'mon get down on the floor (Get down on the floor)
I love the way you move, the way you groove
You make me want some more, babe (Make me want some more)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down (Get down on the floor)
Get down, get down, get down
Make me want some more, babe (Make me want some more)
Oh, everybody, we're gonna get down on the floor (Get down on the floor)
I love the way you groove, the way you move
Ya' make me want some more (Make me want some more)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down (Get down on the floor)
Get down, get down, get down
Make me want some more, babe (Make me want some more)
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love the way you move

“Everybody” is more playful than Off the Wall dance tunes, with Mike McKinney propelling it like a plane turning and bearing down. The background vocals suggest “Get on the Floor’s” influence, but Quincy’s sound is deeper, like you’re in the eye of the storm – our sound was more like going up the gl...
