Gaga, oh, eh
I've had a little bit too much, much (oh, oh, oh)
All of the people start to rush (start to rush by)
A dizzy twister dance, can't find my drink or man
Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone (oh, oh, oh)
I love this record, baby, but I can't see straight anymore (woo)
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, a-alright
Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record, babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance
Dance, dance, just, j-j-just dance
Wish I could shut my playboy mouth (oh, oh, oh)
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? (Inside out, right)
Control your poison, babe, roses have thorns, they say
And we're all gettin' hosed tonight (oh, oh, oh)
What's goin' on on the floor?
I love this record, baby, but I can't see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, a-alright (woo)
Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record, babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance
Dance, dance, just, j-j-just
When I come through on the dance floor checkin' out that catalog (hey)
Can't believe my eyes, so many women without a flaw (hey)
And I ain't gon' give it up, steady tryna pick it up like a call (hey)
I'ma hit it, I'ma beat it and flex and do it until tomorr', yeah
Shawty I can see that you got so much energy
The way you're twirlin' up them hips 'round and 'round
And now there's no reason at all why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime stay and let me watch you break it down
And dance, gonna be okay (oh) da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance (ooh yeah), spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance (ooh yeah), gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance (ooh yeah), spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance (oh), gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance (gonna be okay)
Dance, dance (yeah)
Just, j-j-just dance (oh)

(Amazing)
(Music)
Woo, let's go
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint, it's symphonic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint electronic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint, it's symphonic
Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic
Got my blueprint electronic
Go
Use your muscle, carve it out, work it, hustle
I got it, just stay close enough to get it on
Don't slow
Drive it, clean it, lights out, bleed it, spend the lasto
I got it
In your pocko
I got it
Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance (baby), gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm (baby, yeah)
Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance (spin that record, baby, yeah)
Dance, dance, just, j-j-just dance
The song "Just Dance" by R.O.W.L.E.Y. featuring Lady Gaga is a catchy, upbeat dance-pop anthem that celebrates the joy and freedom of dancing, letting loose, and forgetting all your troubles. The lyrics describe a crowded club where the singer has had a bit too much to drink and can't find her belongings, but she doesn't let it bring her down as she immerses herself in the music and just dances. Gaga sings in the chorus that "it's gonna be okay" and encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and lose themselves in dancing. The song's electric beat and Gaga's powerful vocals create a party vibe that's impossible to resist.
The song was written by Lady Gaga, RedOne, and Akon, and it was released on April 8, 2008, as the lead single from Gaga's debut album, "The Fame." The song was a massive commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in several countries, including Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US. It was certified platinum or multi-platinum in several countries and earned Gaga her first Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording.
