Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's time to begin - now count it in
5-6-7-8

My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy
My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe
Wanna make you mine, better get in line
5-6-7-8

My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy
My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe
Wanna make you mine, better get in line
5-6-7-8

Foot kickin', finger clickin', leather slapping, hand clappin'
Hip bumpin', music thumpin', knee hitchin', heel and toe
Floor scuffin', leg shufflin', big grinnin', body spinnin'
Rompin' stompin', pumpin' jumpin', slidin' glidin', here we go

My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy
My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe
Wanna make you mine, better get in line
5-6-7-8

Tush pushin', thunder footin', cowgirl twistin', no resistin'
Drums bangin', steel twangin', two steppin', end to end
Hardwood crawlin', some four wallin', rug cuttin', cowboy struttin'
Burnin' yearnin', windin' grindin', let's begin the dance again

You're mine, all mine now, bubba
Gonna rope you in, so count me in
5-6-7-8

My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy
My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe
Wanna make you mine, better get in line
5-6-7-8

My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy
My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe
Wanna make you mine, better get in line
5-6-7-8

My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy
My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date
My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe




Wanna make you mine, better get in line

Overall Meaning

The song "5,6,7,8" by Steps is a country-inspired pop song that expresses the singer's love for her "boot scootin' baby". The song begins with a count-in, instructing the listener to dance: "It's time to begin - now count it in, 5-6-7-8". The lyrics then describe the singer's partner as a "rodeo Romeo" who is "drivin' her crazy". She is so obsessed with him that she refers to him as her "dance floor date".


The chorus repeats the same verse twice, emphasizing the singer's desire to make her partner hers. The second verse then describes various dance moves, such as "foot kickin" and "finger clickin" that the couple performs to the rhythm of the music. The song ends with another repeat of the chorus and the singer's declaration that her partner is "all hers now".

The most British school disco song. There was always that teacher ( let’s call her Sandra ) who was putting everything into the dance like she’d been waiting her whole life for it
