Don't Stop
Tamyra Gray Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't want to listen to no radio
Don't want to see no TV show
'Cause I been workin' hard all day
So tonight I'm going out to play
Leave a message on my telephone, y'all
If you come on by I won't be home

Tonight is the night

When I just want to leave it all behind
'Cause I'm feelin' so right
So the Dj's gotta keep it tight

Feel the frequency
The rhythm moves your feet
You've got to keep on dancing
All night long
'Cause I don't know why
But it feels like I'm on fire
I need to keep on dancing
All night long

When I walk through the door
The music takes control
I can feel the rhythm inside
It soothes my heart and soul
Mr DJ don't stop keep the music pumpin'
Feel the bass and the club is jumpin'
On the floor everybody's dancing
Somethings comin' over me

Tonight is the night
When I just want to leave it all behind
'Cause I'm feelin' so right
So the Dj's gotta keep it tight

Feel the frequency
The rhythm moves your feet
You've got to keep on dancing
All night long
'Cause I don't know why
But it feels like I'm on fire
I need to keep on dancing
All night long

Tonight is the night
I'm just feelin' right

Feel the frequency
The rhythm moves your feet
You've got to keep on dancing
All night long
'cause I don't know why
But it feels like I'm on fire

I need to keep on dancing
All night long
