Bad Boy, and we won't stop
Faith, '99
We can dance, dance, dance
Clap your hands, hands, hands
All night, if you're in the mood
Do what you wanna do
Happy days are here
So leave your cares behind
Just relax your mind
It's so easy to do it
Just enjoy yourself (enjoy yourself)
If the feeling's right
Get your groove on tonight
Take your time tonight (take you time)
Everything's all right
Ain't nothin' but a party
We can dance, dance, dance
Clap your hands, hands, hands
All night (all night long), if you're in the mood
Do what you wanna do (dance all night long)
All night long
Get up on the floor
Don't worry 'bout a thing
The rhythm's got you now
So come on, get into it
Just enjoy yourself
If the feeling's right
Get your groove on tonight
Take your time tonight
Everything's all right (uh uh)
Ain't nothin' but a party
We can dance, dance, dance (all night long)
Clap your hands, hands, hands

Lay back, relax
Free (just free) your mind (your mind)
Let the music take control of you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
If it's hot then I must've did it
If it's not then I wasn't with it
Bad Boy stay committed
Whether hip-hop or R&B
Featurin' Faith Evans, co-starrin' me, P. Diddy
You know I got the key to your city
Unlock the door, rock some more
Beats we lace

We run R&B too 'cause we keep the faith
Givin' the streets a taste
Blaze the charts
I remember
In case you forgot
First Lady be makin' it hot
Ain't nobody takin' the spot
Now it's Faith instead of pain
Comin' through with a better grain
In the dash, cell phone better range
Get the cash, and stock paper for the whole four quarters
Damn, some things never change
Can ya feel me? Ya feel me? Let's make 'em dance
Let's go

I know this was such a tough time for Faith with losing BIG and trying to complete this album, yet she pulled through and delivered a great follow up album. Love you Faith ⚡️

Timeless track that just makes you want to dance. Faith has just an incredible voice!

Faith has the best background vocal arrangements of all time in R&B. Hands down. In all of her songs.

I believe she had two top 10 (Love Like This & All Night Long) and a top 20 hit with Never Gonna Let You Go. That was a strong album.
