(Background sounds of people partying throughout)
I used to go out to parties and stand around
'Cause I was too nervous to really get down
But my body yearned to be free
I got out on the floor and thought somebody could choose me
No more standing there beside the walls
Now I got myself together, baby, and I'm having a ball
As long as you're grooving, there's always a chance
Somebody watching might wanna make romance
Move your body
Oooh, baby, you dance all night
To the groove and feel alright
Everybody's grooving on like a fool
Oooh! Oooh!
But if you see me spread out, let me in
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Baby, just party high and low
Let me step into your erotic zone
Move it up
Turn it 'round. Oooh
Shake it down. Oooh, baby. (Oooh.)
Owwwwwwwwwwww!
You can love me when you want to, baby
This is such a groovy party, baby
We're here face to face
And everybody's swinging
This is such a groovy place
All the young ladies are so fine. Yeeeeeeeeeee!
You're moving your body easy with no doubts
I know what you're thinking, baby
You wanna turn me out
Think I'm gonna let you do it, babe
Keep on dancing. (Dancing lady, dancing lady.)
Oh, baby, oh, oh. (Got to give it up.)
