Didn't even know your first name
See your cups goin' empty
Can I fill you up tonight?
Sittin' here on your birthday (birthday)
But it seems like the worst day
Let me make you feel okay (okay)
Can I take you home tonight?
I don't know your plans
I don't know where you're goin'
All that I know is
I like the way you
Dance, dance, dance
And do your little dance, dance, dance
You know it, dance, dance, dance
I love it when you dance, dance, dance
Come show me, dance, dance, dance
And do your little dance, dance, dance
You know it, dance, dance, dance (yeah)
I like it when you dance, dance, dance
The minute I saw you
You know why I locked right into your eyes (eyes)
I'm mesmerized, can you tell me why?
All by yourself
In the corner without a ride (ride)
Let me take you there, I'll be your prayer
I don't know your plans
I don't know where you're goin'
All that I know is
I like the way you
Dance, dance, dance
And do your little dance, dance, dance

Come show me, dance, dance, dance (oh)
And do your little dance, dance, dance
You know it, dance, dance, dance (yeah, yeah)
I like it when you dance, dance, dance
