Dance Like We're Making Love
Ciara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So come and show me your moves
I got some things I can teach you too
If you wanna see, oh oh
You say you need a shot of the Henee
Then you're ready
Do what you need to do
'Cause I'll be waiting for you
It's really late
You're getting closer and the lights off
Your body is in sync to the beat of my heart
And I can feel your nature rising wild and wild on you
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
If you're down just maybe
We dance like we're making babies
As soon as our song comes on
'Cause boy we got all night long
So if you're ready
I'm ready to get it come on
I see a little faded
You wanna get crazy out on this floor
I hope you're sure this is what you want
'Cause once I'm turned on, you can't turn me off
It's really late
You're getting closer and the lights off
Your body is in sync to the beat of my heart
And I can feel your nature rising wild and wild on you
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
Off the wall
Body to body
You and I
And then out through the night baby
Closer than before
Dance like no one's watching
You and I tonight
Be the time of your life baby
Oh oh
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
Making love
Let's dance like we're making love
The lyrics of Ciara's song "Dance Like We're Making Love" emphasize the chemistry between two people and their desire to express it through dance. The song begins with the imagery of sweat dripping from their bodies, indicating that they are engaged with the music and each other. The singer offers to teach their partner some moves and initiates a sensual dance together. As the night progresses, their bodies are in sync to the beat of their hearts, and their nature is rising wilder as the lyrics suggest. The chorus resonates with the message of dancing like they are making love, aligning their emotions and physicality in the dance.
In the second verse, the singer asks their partner to dance like they are making babies, reflecting the intensity and passion of their dance moves. The singer acknowledges that they have all night, implying that they want to take things further. The lyrics emphasize that once the singer is turned on, there is no turning back. The bridge of the song explores the various physical connections that the two share as they dance together, with the singer urging their partner to dance like no one's watching, and to make the most of the time they have together.

Sweat dripping from my body, we both at this party
I am sweating and dancing at this party with you
So come and show me your moves
I want you to dance with me and entertain me
I got some things I can teach you too
I can also teach you some moves if you're willing to learn
If you wanna see, oh oh
If you want to learn, I can show you
You say you need a shot of the Henee
You say you need a drink of Henee (a brand of cognac)
Then you're ready
If you get your drink, you'll be ready to party
Do what you need to do
As long as you're ready, do whatever you need to do
'Cause I'll be waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you to join me and dance
It's about to get hot and heavy, oh oh
The party is about to get hot and sexual
You're getting closer and the lights off
You are getting closer to me and the lights are off
Your body is in sync to the beat of my heart
You are dancing with me and our bodies are in sync
And I can feel your nature rising wild and wild on you
I can feel your desire increasing and becoming more intense
If you're down just maybe
If you're willing, maybe we can do more than just dance
We dance like we're making babies
We dance as if we're having sex and making babies
As soon as our song comes on
When our song starts playing, we can be intimate
'Cause boy we got all night long
We have the entire night to dance and be intimate
So if you're ready
If you're willing to be intimate with me, let me know
I'm ready to get it come on
I'm ready to be intimate with you, so let's do it
I see a little faded
I see that you've been drinking
You wanna get crazy out on this floor
You want to get wild and crazy on the dance floor
I hope you're sure this is what you want
I hope you're certain that you want to be intimate with me
'Cause once I'm turned on, you can't turn me off
Once I'm aroused and ready, there's no going back
Off the wall
We're dancing crazily and energetically
Body to body
Our bodies are touching and rubbing against each other
You and I
It's just you and me on the dance floor
And then out through the night baby
And then we can continue our intimate time through the night
Closer than before
We're even more intimate than before
Dance like no one's watching
Dance like we don't care who's watching us
You and I tonight
Tonight, it's just you and me dancing and being intimate
Be the time of your life baby
This will be the best night of your life
Oh oh
Repetitive vocalization to add feeling to the song
