[Verse 1]
One night I got this itchin' and the feeling started to blow
No more wallflowers, baby
So I got to the dancefloor
I knew the time was right
The groove was tight
For what I wanted to hear
Then someone next to me shouted something very clear
[Chorus]
Take it on up (Take it on up)
You got to take it to the top
You better get down to the groove
And don't you ever stop
Take it on up (Take it on up)
Just go for what you know
Cause everything is movin' and it's time for you to show
[Verse 2]
As the music played
Thе people swayed
All from sidе to side
Just like an amusement park
On a rollercoaster ride
I looked around, there were no more frowns on everybody's face
It felt real good to see the world in a beautiful embrace
[Chorus]
Just take it on up (Take it on up)
We got take it to the top
You better get down to the groove
And don't you ever stop
Won't you take it on up? (Take it on up)
And go for what you know
Cause everything is movin' and it's time for you to show (Time for you to show)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The music stopped, we left the floor 'cause it was very late at night
Starts to remember the party
We were really out of sight
The time's still right
The groove's still tight
For what you want to hear
I'll never forget those simple words that were shouted very clear
[Chorus]
Take it on up (Take it on up)
You got take it to the top
Better get down to the groove
And don't you ever stop
Take it on up (Take it on up)
You gotta go for what you know
Cause everything is movin' and it's time for you to show (Time for you to show)
[Outro]
(Take it on up)
