Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lady operator
Please make up your mind
Lady Operator
I don′t know what I am tonight

But maybe I don't want to
At all, (unintelligible)
You can take me, you can take me
I don′t care, I don't care, I don't care

We will dance

Lady Operator
Hold onto me, back tonight
Lady Operator
I only want to be by your side
But maybe I don′t wanna
I worked all day, I worked all day
Lady Operator
I don′t sleep at night, say good night

Now relax (?)
