Everybody (J J J J J. R)
Everybody's looking for something

I'm ferocious when I see you instantly
So precocious assuming that you're into me
So fierce the way you pierce me with your energy
My heart's on fire boy come on and rescue me

When I see you I need you right away (Take me)
Can't control the way that I am behaving
It's got a hold of me
Grabbing me rapidly
Romantic dancing
Dreams are made of these, yeah

Everybody
C'mon get to jumping
Everybody
Moving next to something
Everybody
Feel the temperature rising
Everybody
(C'mon now) Let's keep grinding

It's surreal to feel you standing next to me
So intense when your sensing my vicinity
Body shaking aching I can't take it how
I want you so bad boy, that I can taste it now

When I see you I need you right away (Take me)
Can't control the way that I am behaving
It's got a hold of me
Grabbing me rapidly
Romantic dancing
Dreams are made of these, yeah

Everybody
C'mon get to jumping
Everybody
Moving next to something
Everybody
Feel the temperature rising
Everybody
(C'mon now) Let's keep grinding

Fellas get wild, start flashing your money
Ladies go crazy and act a fool
Everybody get down and do what you want to
The night is still young to be seduced

Taking in with every little thing I see
Triple tie dancing with the tab complete
Little boys dancing cause their feeling me
Sweating cold, fretting
It's the place to be
Come and sit with me, come and sit with me
Sit back, you'll see it so beautifully
Loving everybody, baby, is all you need
Let go of the way things used to be

Everybody
C'mon get to jumping
(Everybody) Everybody
Moving next to something (Everybody)
Everybody
Feel the temperature rising (huh oh oh)
Everybody
(C'mon now) Let's keep grinding

(Everybody) Everybody
C'mon get to jumping
Everybody
Moving next to something
Everybody
Feel the temperature rising (yeah, yeah)
Everybody (ooh ooh oh)
(C'mon now) Lets keep grinding

Everybody (Everybody) (J J J J J. R)
Everybody's looking for something
Everybody (Everybody)
Everybody's looking for something
