WAKU WAKU させてよ
DOKI DOKI させてよ

みんな友達じゃないの 他人行儀はよして
もっと近くにおいでよ 息が触れあうくらいにね

頭ん中 upside-down
からっぽに消去して
身体ん中 high and high
爆薬をしかけてね

WAKU WAKU させてよ
地味っぽい顔はやめて
DOKI DOKI させてよ
生きかたを派手にしなよ

みんな臆病過ぎるわ 誘いなさいな はやく
どうせ男も女も ひとりぼっちじゃ生きられない

どうせ人は同じ 淋しくて仕方無い
肩と肩をぶつけ 夜明けまで踊ろうよ

WAKU WAKU させてよ
マジっぽい恋はいやよ
DOKI DOKI させてよ
遊びなら楽しくして

WAKU WAKU (let's do it, everybody on the dance floor)
DOKI DOKI (get to it, tell the DJ that you want more)
WAKU WAKU させてよ (let's do it, everybody on the dance floor)
DOKI DOKI させてよ (get to it, oh-oh-oh)

頭ん中 upside-down
からっぽに消去して
身体ん中 high and high
爆薬をしかけてね

WAKU WAKU させてよ (ooh ooh, keep on dancing)
地味っぽい顔はやめて
DOKI DOKI させてよ (ooh ooh, keep on dancing)
生きかたを派手にしなよ

WAKU WAKU させてよ (ooh ooh, keep on dancing)
(All night long with me)
DOKI DOKI させてよ (ooh ooh, keep on dancing)
(All night long with me)

WAKU WAKU させてよ (ooh ooh, keep on dancing)
(All night long with me)




DOKI DOKI させてよ (ooh ooh, keep on dancing)
(All night long with me)
