Give It Up
To Love And Grow Lyrics

I used to go out to parties and stand around;
I used to attend parties but never participated.

'cause I was too nervous to really get down.
I couldn't bring myself to participate because I was shy.

But my body yearned to be free.
My body wanted to join the dancefloor but I held myself back.

I got up on the floor, boy, so somebody could choose me.
I finally decided to take to the dancefloor in the hope that someone would select me to dance with.

No more standin' upside the wall.
I am no longer going to stand and merely observe the party; I am going to participate.

I have got myself together, baby, now I'm havin' a ball.
I have overcome my shyness and am now enjoying myself at the party.

Long as you're groovin' theres' always a chance somebody watchin' might wanna make romance.
If you're dancing, someone may take notice and express romantic interest in you.

Move your body, move baby, and dance all night, To the groovin', I feel all right.
Dance all night long until it feels good and right.

Havin' a party, ooh, invite all your friends; But if you see me stop by, let me in.
Invite all your friends to the party, and make sure to invite me too.

Baby, just party all night long. Let me slip into your erotic zone. (We heard that!)
Have a great time partying all night long and perhaps explore an intimate connection. (Affirmative response)

Move it up, Turn it around, ooh, shake it down Ooh, you can bump me when you want to, babe.
Switch up your dance moves, shake it out, and if you want to bump into me while dancing, feel free.

This is such a groovy party, baby. Dancin' face to face and everybody's screamin' this is such a groovy place.
This party is great and everyone is having a good time on the dancefloor.

All the young ladies are so fine. You're movin' your body leaves me no doubt; know what you're thinkin', baby, you want to turn me out.
All the women at this party are beautiful. The way you move makes it clear that you may have interest in me.

Think I'm gonna let you do it?
But are you sure I will let it happen?

Keep on dancin' oh, Keep on dancin' oh. Ooh, look so good, yeah, keep on dancin'
Keep dancing and looking good while doing so.

Oh, now sugar, got to give it up. Keep on dancin', gotta give it up. Keep on dancin' . . . . .
It's time to let go (of inhibitions) and just dance all night long.
