[Verse 1]
I don't wanna spoil your party
But I'm about to be making my move
You may have designs on the pretty young thing
But she'll be mine 'fore the night is through
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna fuss, don't wanna fight
Just wanna take her to heaven tonight
Well, well
[Chorus]
Someone's got to lose, that's the trouble with romancin'
Shake hands and come out dancin'
Thank you, baby
Shake hands, shake, come out dancin'
If you think you're good, shake hands (Shake, shake hands)
[Verse 2]
I could tell the minute she saw me
She was looking me over good (Looking me over)
Flashing those eyes in a definite way
And I completely understood
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna fuss, don't wanna fight
Just wanna be her lover tonight
Night, this night
[Chorus]
So if you got your mind on a night of hot romancin'
Shake hands and come out dancin'
Just do your do, come on
Shake hands (Shake, shake hands)
Well, come out dancin'
If you feel the groove, shake hands (Shake, shake hands)
[Interlude]
Oh, now wait a second here, let's be cool about this
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing in this corner, in the blue leather pants, six-feet-three inches of total man
On the other side of the dance floor, mister tall, tan and ready to be bare
Shake hands and come out dancing
Shake hands and come out dancing
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna fuss, don't wanna fight
Gotta be, got to be her lover tonight
[Chorus]
When you hear the bell, be prepared to take your chances
Shake hands (Shake), come out dancin'
Baby, shake hands (Shake)
If you wanna prove you're the object of affection
Shake hands, shake hands, shake hands, come, come out dancin'
[Outro]
Hey, do what you wanna do (Shake, shake hands)
If you shake your hands, if you shake your feet
It'll move your body, make everything complete (Shake, shake hands)
Oh, come on up, don't, don't back-step, don't back-step, come on now
Shake a hand (Shake)
Well, well, shake hands, shake hands (Shake)
Come on now, we gon' get serious now
Come on, come on groove with me (Got to come out dancin', shake)
(Got to come out dancin', shake)
(Gotta come out dancin', shake, shake hands)
Shake hands, baby, gotta (Got to come out dancin')
Shake hands (Shake, shake hands)
What you're doin', what you're doin' is half-steppin'
(Gotta come out dancin') Well, well (Shake, shake hands)
You're just half-steppin', you ain't got goin' now
(Got to keep on dancin')
