Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a special treat for tonight
I'm gonna call my friend Olly up here to sing to you ladies
Olly!
Yeah!
Let's go, man
Okay

My name is Olly, nice to meet you can I tell you, baby
Look around there's a whole lot of pretty ladies
But not like you, you shine so bright, yeah

I was wondering if you and me could spend a minute
On the floor up and close getting lost in it
I won't give up without a fight

I just wanna, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight

We're getting sweaty, hot and heavy in the crowd now
Loosen up and let you hands go down, down
Go with it girl, yeah just close your eyes, yeah

I feel the music moving through your body
Looking at you I can tell you want me
Don't stop keep moving till the morning light, yeah

When I saw you there
Sitting all alone in the dark
Acting like you didn't have a care
I knew right then, you'd be mine
We'd be dancing the whole damn night, like
Oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight

Break it down now (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shake it like that (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now bring it all back
To dance with me tonight
One more time, one more time, come on now
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do your thing (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody sing
I just want you to dance with me tonight (come on)
I just wanna, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight

Everybody, everybody, come on now
Pretty girl, just close your eyes
We can dance all through the night
I just want you to dance with me tonight
And everybody sing
Pretty girl, just close your eyes
We can dance all through the night
I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on
Pretty girl, just close your eyes




We can dance all through the night
I just want you to dance with me tonight

Without the wisdom and understanding of truth, every soul is then heading to hell, to pay for their sins, which they did while on earth; lies, stealing's, cheating, abusing's, destroying's , killings (even just through words, killing is done) = regrets, as soul then, fully understand, how terrible ways life was wasted away + being as a whole being in flames, 24/7/365, not a single moment out from it, - you`d be still fine?

From that very moment, we call, we are saved, for we dared to have faith and trust in GOD already, or we wouldnt have called.

Psalms 145:18
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Psalms 55:16
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

The 2 musts:
1.)come to the knowledge of truth
2.) and get saved

Why don't they put this on the radio again!?!?!? It sounds waaaay to good to not pay attention to!!!

@makayla5275

I know they don't seem to play anymore of Olly's songs

@Lylac

If this was on the radio I'd probably scream and unbuckle my seatbelt to turn up the volume and dance my heart out lol

@Lylac

Dangerous but fun lol

@Qwassie

I just heard it this morning thinking it was one of his new songs, and I'm thinking the same thing right now. XD

@emperorstevee

Probably because mainstream music is not about playing things because of actual musical talent anymore, which does not get old, and instead playing whatever rubbish is new.
