(Dance)

If you wanna run away with me
I know a galaxy and I can take you for a ride
I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm
Where the music don't stop for life
Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes
Shining just the way I like
If you feeling like you need a little bit of company
You met me at the perfect time

You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way is separating
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me (come and dance with me)

I believe that you're for me, I feel it in our energy
I see it written in the stars
We can go wherever, so let's do it now or never
Baby, nothing's ever, ever too far

Glitter in the sky, glitter in our eyes
Shining just the way we are
I feel like we're forever, every time we get together
No, we're never gonna be apart

You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way is separating
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me (come on, dance with me)

You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
(Let me take you for a ride)
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
(Can't stop it, baby) let's go!

Boy, I'm advanced, got my real tight pants
When I back it up I put you in a trance
If you wanna dance then show me all your bands
'Cause tonight I might give you that chance
(Let's get it, skrt) Pull up in the coupe
Ooh, that dude, he look hella cute
Yeah, he looking at me like, ooh
Say my breasts like Betty Boop
Oh my, my, my
Get to sweltering like ay-ay-ay
I'm a freak, I like to play shy
But I will get it poppin', anything I'll try it
Say I'm on his top five list
On a Major Key like Kylie
Don't speak, open up your eyelids
(I can be your girl if you keep it private)

You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way is separating
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me
(Come on, dance with me)

You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
(Come on baby, take you for a ride)
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
(Come on let me take you for a ride)

I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me (come on, dance with me)
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me

I'm levitating
I'm levitating
Come on, come on, come on dance with me
I'm levitating
(Come on let me take you for a ride)
I'm levitating
Come on, come on, come on dance with me




I'm levitating
(I can't stop it baby)

Dua Lipa said Madonna's "Ray of Light" was her inspiration to write "Future Nostalgia", she also was inspired by "Confessions on a Dance Floor", Let's stream these 3 awesome albums

@matthewmcree1992

That makes so much sense in hindsight. Ray of Light is one of my favorite albums of all time. And I will always love Confessions on a Dance Floor (although it's not as creative as Ray of Light was), but it fulfills its purpose as a fantastic dance pop album just as Future Nostalgia does. Dua Lipa has rapidly become my favorite dance popstar to debut after 2010 or so, and her support for Palestinian rights only cemented my love for her even more! And tickets for the Future Nostalgia tour go on sale tomorrow! I am so tempted to buy a ticket and see her, but I'm afraid of how expensive tickets will be 🥺

@SuperQueenMadonna

You do realize Stuart Price also Produced and co wrote Madonna's Confessions... I love dua.. I want to see a proper duet!!!

@111usul

Everybody is influenced by Madonna, the thing she's done for pop music and culture is unmatched, queen
