On The Dancefloor
David Guetta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove, hey-hey, hey-hey
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down

Gonna burn this goddamn house right down
Gonna burn this, burn this, this house
Gonna burn this, burn this, this house
Gonna burn this, burn this, this house
Gonna burn this goddamn house right down
Burn this, burn this, this house
Gonna burn this, burn this, this house
Gonna burn this, burn this, this house
Gonna burn this goddamn house right down

Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
About your kind
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
I'll have to play

If you think you're getting away, I will prove you wrong
I'll take you all the way, boy, just come along
Hear me when I say, hey

It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove, hey-hey, hey-hey
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down

Gonna burn this goddamn house right down





Gonna burn this goddamn house right down
