The Forces of Evil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alright...

And you see her, so fine and pretty
Movin' with her style and ease
And you see her, from across the room
Yes it's love in the third degree

Ooh, baby baby
Won't you turn your love my way?
Ooh, baby baby
Take a chance, you're old enough to

Dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance the night away

A live wire, girl your a beginner
But just watch that lady go
She's on fire, 'cause dancin' gets her hotter than
Anything else she knows

Ooh, baby baby
Won't you turn your love my way?
Ooh, baby baby
Take a chance, you're old enough to

Dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance the night away

Woooo, oh-oh-oh oh

(Alright...)
Dance, Dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, dance the night away yeah yeah!




Dance, dance, dance the night away
Let's dance!
