Got To Give It Up
Hiram Bullock Band Lyrics

I used to go out to parties and stand around;
In the past, I would attend social events but spend most of the time just standing around.

'cause I was too nervous to really get down.
This was due to my anxiety and shyness, which prevented me from fully engaging with others and having fun.

But my body yearned to be free.
Despite my reservations, I deep down desired to let loose and enjoy myself without inhibition.

I got up on the floor, boy,
Eventually, I summoned the courage to physically engage with the party and dance.

so somebody could choose me.
I hoped this would make me more visible and appealing to others in attendance as a dance partner.

No more standin' upside the wall.
I avoided my former habit of standing near the perimeter of the venue as a wallflower.

I have got myself together, baby,
I regained my confidence and composure, likely through personal growth or external support.

now I'm havin' a ball.
As a result, I am now thoroughly enjoying myself at the event.

Long as you're groovin' theres' always a chance
As long as everyone at the party is dancing and having fun, there is potential for romantic connection or interaction.

somebody watchin' might wanna make romance.
Another person observing my moves and demeanor may be inclined to pursue a romantic relationship or encounter with me.

Move your body, move baby, and dance all night,
I encourage myself and others to fully embrace the dance floor and revel in the music and festivities all throughout the night.

To the groovin', I feel all right.
The rhythm and musical vibe are exhilarating and help me let loose and feel good about myself.

Havin' a party, ooh, invite all your friends;
Hosting or attending a social gathering can be an excellent way to bond with others and have a great time, especially when done with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.

But if you see me stop by, let me in.
If I happen to be in the vicinity of your event but have not received an invitation, please let me join in on the fun if I so desire.

Baby, just party all night long.
Let's all keep partying and enjoying ourselves until night gives way to morning!

Let me slip into your erotic zone.
I am indicating interest in entering into someone's personal space where things might become more intimate, flirtatious or sexual in nature.

(We heard that!)
The suggestion I just voiced was heard loud and clear by those listening to me.

Move it up,
Let's increase the tempo and energy of our dance moves and partying even more.

Turn it around, ooh, shake it down
Encouraging people to incorporate more dynamic and varied movements into their dance routines.

Ooh, you can bump me when you want to, babe.
I am game for physical contact and agreeable to being bumped into or brushed by others while dancing.

This is such a groovy party, baby.
I am enjoying this lively, upbeat event and getting into the festive mood.

Dancin' face to face and everybody's screamin'
Everyone is deeply invested in our dancing and in creating an energetic, electric atmosphere where partners are fully engaged with one another.

this is such a groovy place.
Collectively, partygoers have made this venue into an exciting, fun-filled and memorable place to be.

All the young ladies are so fine.
I am appreciating and celebrating the physical features and attractiveness of the women around me.

You're movin' your body leaves me no doubt;
With your skill, elegance and fluid movements, you are clearly showing and demonstrating your proficiency in dancing.

know what you're thinkin', baby, you want to turn me out.
I sense, correctly or incorrectly, that you are intrigued or attracted to me and showing interest in pursuing some kind of physical or romantic relationship with me.

Think I'm gonna let you do it?
I am playfully entertaining, but not fully committing to, the idea of acquiescing to your advances.

Keep on dancin' oh, Keep on dancin' oh.
I encourage everyone to keep dancing and enjoying themselves throughout the course of the night and beyond.

Ooh, look so good, yeah, keep on dancin'
As people dance and let loose, they exude willpower, grace, and beauty, which I celebrate and admire.

Oh, now sugar, got to give it up.
Another person or I have confirmed the decision to pursue romantic or physical interaction with another partygoer.

Keep on dancin', gotta give it up.
Carry on expressing and celebrating our shared sense of joy and companionship, while pursuing new and exciting forms of social or romantic interaction amongst ourselves.

Keep on dancin' . . . . .
No matter what happens or how things evolve, let's keep the party going and maintain our positive, expressive energy for as long as possible.
