Look around there's a whole lot of pretty ladies
But not like you, you shine so bright, yeah

On the floor up and close getting lost in it
I won't give up without a fight

I just wanna, oh baby

We're getting sweaty, hot and heavy in the crowd now
Loosen up and let you hands go down, down
Go with it girl, yeah just close your eyes, yeah

Looking at you I can tell you want me
Don't stop keep moving till the morning light, yeah

When I saw you there
Sitting all alone in the dark
Acting like you didn't have a care

We'd be dancing the whole damn night, like
Oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on, oh baby
I just want you to dance with me tonight

Break it down now (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shake it like that (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now bring it all back
To dance with me tonight
One more time, one more time, come on now

Do your thing (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody sing
I just want you to dance with me tonight (come on)
I just wanna, oh baby

Everybody, everybody, come on now
Pretty girl, just close your eyes
We can dance all through the night
I just want you to dance with me tonight
And everybody sing
Pretty girl, just close your eyes
We can dance all through the night
I just want you to dance with me tonight
So come on
Pretty girl, just close your eyes
We can dance all through the night
I just want you to dance with me tonight

@@zsofiagaspar2715 As souls reject the knowledge of truth:
Without the wisdom and understanding of truth, every soul is then heading to hell, to pay for their sins, which they did while on earth; lies, stealing's, cheating, abusing's, destroying's , killings (even just through words, killing is done) = regrets, as soul then, fully understand, how terrible ways life was wasted away + being as a whole being in flames, 24/7/365, not a single moment out from it, - you`d be still fine?

From that very moment, we call, we are saved, for we dared to have faith and trust in GOD already, or we wouldnt have called.

Psalms 145:18
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Psalms 55:16
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

The 2 musts:
1.)come to the knowledge of truth
2.) and get saved

Agree

@rebeccataylor2486

Sure is man

@buildingaction5670

Agreed

@dammypospisil

Finally a person who has the same opinion!! And yes, you're right.. I would like to know why. He has so many great songs and maximum is 160 milion views and that's definitely because of Flo Rida.. it's wierd. I think his voice is beautiful and like I said.. his songs are cool and great. I haven't figured out yet why he hasn't got more popularity and views.
