Oh, yeah
Let me take you to Xanadu
Where is that?
Behind the groove
Well, alright

So get on up

And shake your body
Get behind the groove
Open up and take the music in
Get behind the groove
You better get on up

Come to the party
Get behind the groove
Life is waitin' for you to begin
Behind the groove
You can dance forever and a day
Behind the groove
There is romance just a glance away
Got to move, get behind the groove
Why don't you let your spirit play
Another me and another you
If we make it through to Xanadu, oh
Shake your body, shake your body, oh

It is a place where someone can make their wildest dreams come true, and where fear and insecurities do not exist. The lyrics encourage the listener to let their spirit play, and to shake their body to the rhythm of the music. The song talks about the endless joy that can be found on the other side of the groove, where there is romance, dancing, and partying.
