Watcha Gonna Do?
Us3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard a sound ringing out so clear
But no matter what I tried
I couldn't find the source of the sounds in my mind
Move with me
What are you waiting for?
Do what you feel
And before I knew I was dancing
(chorus)
Whatcha gonna do when the music's calling you
Whatcha gonna do got no choice gotta move
So there I was, just little me by myself
Dancing away like there was nothing else
Unaware of the stares from passers by
I had totally lost myself
Excuse me please
Tell me just what you're looking at?
Get on your feet
Once you start you'll never wanna go back
(chorus)
It's that hip-swinging, lip-singing thing
That just happens when it hits you
It gets you, completely unawares
Lose all your cares, it'll be alright
Dance away the night and day
Step up step in give in
No matter what you say
It's gonna get you some place
So won't you move with me
What are you waiting for?
Do what you feel
And before I knew I was dancing, felt so free
The song 'Watcha Gonna Do?' by Us3 is about the power of music and how it can compel people to dance even if they don't know where the urge is coming from. The singer is lying in bed when he hears a sound that he can't identify but is so powerful that he can't resist it. He ends up dancing wildly and feeling completely free, despite being alone and unaware of the reactions of others around him. The message of the song is to encourage listeners to let go of their inhibitions and surrender to the rhythm of the music.
The lyrics describe the feeling of being swept up in the moment and being lost in the music, with phrases like "move with me," "do what you feel," and "get on your feet." The chorus repeats the line "Whatcha gonna do when the music's calling you" as a call to action, encouraging people to join in the dance and let themselves be carried away. The song also acknowledges the power of music to transcend social barriers, with the singer challenging onlookers to "get on your feet" and become part of the scene.
Overall, 'Watcha Gonna Do?' is a celebration of the joy and freedom of dancing, and the power of music to bring people together.

One night lying awake in my bed
I was awake in bed one night
I heard a sound ringing out so clear
I heard a distinct sound
But no matter what I tried
I tried but could not
I couldn't find the source of the sounds in my mind
I couldn't find where the sound was coming from
Move with me
Dance with me
What are you waiting for?
Why aren't you dancing?
Do what you feel
Dance as you wish
And before I knew I was dancing
I ended up dancing without realizing
Felt so free
I felt liberated
Whatcha gonna do when the music's calling you
What will you do when the music beckons you?
Whatcha gonna do got no choice gotta move
You have no choice but to dance
So there I was, just little me by myself
I was alone
Dancing away like there was nothing else
Dancing without a care
Unaware of the stares from passers by
Not noticing people looking at me
I had totally lost myself
I was completely absorbed in dancing
Excuse me please
Can I help you?
Tell me just what you're looking at?
Why are you staring?
Get on your feet
Start dancing
Once you start you'll never wanna go back
You'll never want to stop dancing
It's that hip-swinging, lip-singing thing
It's the sensation of swaying your hips and singing along
That just happens when it hits you
It happens naturally
It gets you, completely unawares
It catches you off guard
Lose all your cares, it'll be alright
Let go and everything will be fine
Dance away the night and day
Dance all day and all night
Step up step in give in
Join in and surrender
No matter what you say
Regardless of what you think
It's gonna get you some place
It will take you somewhere
So won't you move with me
Come dance with me
What are you waiting for?
Why haven't you started dancing?
Do what you feel
Dance the way you want to
And before I knew I was dancing, felt so free
I started dancing and felt liberated without realizing it
