Clark Anderson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to dance
I want to dance
I want to dance all night with you
Give me a chance
Give me a chance
And let me show you what to do
I'm gonna get
I'm gonna get

I'm gonna get you in the mood
You've gotta let
You've gotta let
You've gotta let me

Baby
When you gonna show me how you feel
I said baby
I just need to know
Say what's the deal

I feel like playin' a song
Do you feel like gettin' it on
I feel like playin' a song
and I want you to come along
I want my baby right
I don't want my baby wrong
Can we get a little hot tonight
'Cause I feel like playin' a song

And if it's good enough for you
Then it's good enough for me

We can do things we never do
And live out our fantasies!
