Dressed to Kill
Dashboard Madonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When night falls
The clubs call
The grooves right
The beats tight
Tonight I'm on fire
Dancing's my desire
Got to get a little love to live
The crowd rocks
I give it all I got
DJ don't fail me
Tonight your gonna set me free
Got to get a little love to live
Dressed to kill
It's such a thrill
Tonight I fire at will
Such a rush now strut your stuff
Get up, no time to chill
I live for the dance floor
Music sways
I want more
Vinyl spins
The hits play
Melodies carry me away
Got to get a little love to live
We dance and we jive
It's what keeps us stayin' alive
Saturday night fever
Made me a believer
Got to get a little love to live
Dressed to kill
It's such a thrill
Tonight I fire at will
Such a rush now strut your stuff
Get up, no time to chill
Oh, Mr DJ
Your like the piper playin'
Take me far away
Where the party never ends
Got to get a little love to live
Take me far away
Take me far away
Take me far away Mr DJ
Take me far away
Take me far away
Take me far away Mr DJ
When night falls
The clubs call
The grooves right
The beats tight
Tonight I'm on fire
Dancing's my desire
Got to get a little love to live
Dressed to kill
It's such a thrill
Tonight I fire at will
Such a rush now strut your stuff
Get up, no time to chill
Dressed to kill
It's such a thrill
Tonight I fire at will
