Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are out dancing, looking for romance
on a saturday night
We are out dancing, I'm looking for romance
on a saturday night
I want you, do you want me?

We are out dancing, looking for romance
on a saturday night
We are out dancing, I'm looking for romance
on a saturday night
I want you, do you want me too?
'Cause I think I want you, do you want me too?

I stole the look from you,??? who
(Yeah Yeah Yeah!)
I stole the look from you,??? who
(Yeah Yeah Yeah!)

We are out dancing, looking for romance
on a saturday night
We are out dancing, I'm looking for romance
on a saturday night
I want you, do you want me too?
'Cause I think I want you, do you want me too?

I stole the look from you,??? who
(Yeah-Yeah Yeah!)
I stole the look from you,??? who
(Yeah-Yeah Yeah!)'
I stole the look from you,??? who
(Yeah-Yeah Yeah!)




I stole the look from you,??? who
(Yeah-Yeah Yeah!)
