Dance With Somebody
Fatman Scoop vs. Whitney Houston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody (dance)
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost to my senses
Spinnin' through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feelin' down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody (dance)
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
(Somebody who, somebody who)
Somebody who loves me, yeah
(Somebody who, somebody who)
To hold me in his arms, oh
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls (oh)
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody (dance)
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Ooh, ooh (dance)
Come on, baby (dance)
Woo, yeah (dance)
Now get with this, whoa (dance)
Don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, baby?
Don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, boy?
Hey, don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, baby?
With somebody who loves me
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Uh-huh
With somebody who loves me
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Hey, baby
Don't you wanna love me? Don't you wanna love me?

Clock strikes upon the hour
The beginning of a new hour reminds me of my loneliness
And the sun begins to fade
The end of the day shows me that I'm still alone
Still enough time to figure out
There's still hope that I can find someone to dance with
How to chase my blues away
I need to find someone who can make me forget about my sadness
I've done alright up 'til now
I've been able to hold my own so far
It's the light of day that shows me how
But during the daytime, I realize how unhappy I am
And when the night falls, loneliness calls
At night, my feelings of loneliness become unbearable
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I want to find someone to dance with and have fun
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
I want to feel passion and excitement with someone
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
I'm looking for a dance partner who can make me forget about my loneliness
With somebody who loves me
I want to find someone who truly loves and cares for me
I've been in love and lost my senses
I've been in love before, but it did not end well
Spinning through the town
I've tried to forget my heartbreak by going out and having fun
Sooner or later, the fever ends
Eventually, my attempts to forget my heartbreak stop working
And I wind up feeling down
I become sad again and remember my loneliness
I need a man who'll take a chance
I'm looking for a courageous man who's willing to take a risk for love
On a love that burns hot enough to last
I want a passionate romance that will stand the test of time
Somebody ooh, somebody, ooh
I'm looking for someone special
Somebody who loves me yeah
Someone who truly cares about me as a person
To hold me in his arms, oh
Someone who wants to physically hold me and comfort me
