Oh, woah
Going up, baby, here we go
Music making me lose it, oh no
Hit the switch, girl, you're in control
Nobody can see what we're up to
You saying pull up, pull up (pull up)
Take it up to the top floor (where?)
Give it to me like you owe me something, oh yeah (yeah)
You been waiting for it, I know it's true (whoa)
I want to get closer to you (sheesh)
I like how you move, baby, whoa (yeah)
I want to be pressed up against ya (ow)
We don't need a room baby, no
We can dirty dance on the floor, whoa, floor, whoa, yeah
Dirty dance on the floor, woah, floor
We can dirty dance on the floor, oh, floor, yeah
We can dirty dance on the floor, whoa, sheesh, floor, yeah
Sweat from your body is making me thirsty (oh)
I can tell you're well in your zone
Baby, your booty move like it don't need your body
Like it got a mind of its own
And when you make it go (oh, oh)
I wanna pay a bill or two
Swear when you move it just make me wanna make life a little easier on you
Can I be honest?
You know I want it
Promise I won't touch
Girl, I can't make that promise, no
I want to get closer to you (to you)
I like how you move baby, whoa (move)
I want to be pressed up against ya ('gainst ya)
We don't need a room, baby, no (baby)
We can dirty dance on the floor, whoa, sheesh, floor, woah, yeah

We can dirty dance on the floor, whoa, wow, floor, whoa, yeah
Dirty dance on the floor, whoa, floor, yeah
This gon' be your favorite song
The song "Dirty Dancin'" by Eric Bellinger is about a man who wants to get physically closer to his lover through a sensual dance on the dance floor. Throughout the song, he is seduced by his lover's movements and wants to be pressed up against her as they dance. The lyrics detail how he is attracted to her body, specifically her "booty," which moves like it has its own mind. He also hints at the idea of taking care of her financially through lines such as "when you move it just make me wanna make life a little easier on you" and "I wanna pay a bill or two." However, he also acknowledges that he cannot make a promise to not touch her because of the strong pull he feels towards her.
The song's chorus, "We can dirty dance on the floor," repeats throughout the song and emphasizes the physical closeness and sensuality of the dance. The lyrics suggest that they do not need a private room to be intimate, and can in fact enjoy each other's company on the dance floor. The phrase โdirty dancingโ is a reference to the popular dance style portrayed in the movie of the same name, where two people engage in a sensual dance while being physically close to each other.
Although the lyrics of the song are straightforward and revolve around seduction, the upbeat and catchy melody creates a fun and exciting atmosphere that encourages listeners to dance along. Overall, the song captures the excitement and thrill of a romantic encounter on the dance floor.
