Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood

If you feel this beat
You need to feel this beat
You need to clap your hands

You need all heart and soul
Deep down inside
But you don't hide, oh

Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood

If you feel this beat
You need to move your feet
You need to clap your hands

You need all heart and soul
'Cause deep down inside
But you won't hide, oh

Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some dancing mood

Well, I'm in some dancing mood
I'm in some dancing mood




Well, I'm in some dancing mood
Well, I'm in some smokin' mood
