I like what you do when you move it
I like when you move like this
It's time to get out on the dancefloor
I like it when we do it like this
I wanna dance with you baby
Take a chance with me baby
And move to the music, dance to the beat
Let me dance with you
I've been watching you
Let me spin your head into a trance
Let me dance with you
Cause I'm wanting you
It's a vertigo I call romance
I like what I feel boy you move me
I like when I'm feeling like this
It's time to get out on the dancefloor
I like it when we do it like this
I wanna dance with you baby
I wanna move it like this
Take a chance with me baby
And move to the music, dance to the beat
Let me dance with you

Let me spin your head into a trance
