Just Dance
Vanilla Sky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've had a little bit too much, oh oh ooh
All of the people start to rush, start to rush by
A dizzy twisted dance, can't find my drink, oh man
Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone

What's going on on the floor?
I love this record baby but I can't see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, a-alright

Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance
Dance, dance, just, j-j-just dance

Wish I could shut my playboy mouth, oh oh oh-oh
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? Inside outright
Control your poison babe, roses have thorns they say
And we're all getting hosed tonight, oh oh oh-oh

What's going on on the floor?
I love this record baby but I can't see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, a-alright

Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance
Dance, dance, just, j-j-just dance

When I come through on the dance floor checkin' out that catalog
Can't believe my eyes, so many women without a flaw
And I ain't gon' give it up, steady tryin' to pick it up like a car
I'ma hit it, I'ma hit it and flex and do it until tomorr' yeah

Shawty I can see that you got so much energy
The way you're twirlin' up them hips 'round and 'round
And now there's no reason at all why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime stay and let me watch you break it down

And dance

Go! Use your muscle, carve it out, work it, hustle
I got it, just stay close enough to get it
Don't slow! Drive it, clean it, Lysol, bleed it
Spend the last dough
(I got it)
In your pocko
(I got it)

Just dance

Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance, spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmm




Just dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-dance
Dance, dance, just, j-j-just dance

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vanilla Sky's song "Just Dance" depict a wild night out where the singer has had a little bit too much to drink and is struggling to keep up with the events of the night. The singer cannot find their drink, lost their phone and keys while dancing in a dizzy, twisted manner. Despite this, the singer seems to be enjoying themselves and is trying to keep cool. The song's chorus emphasizes the therapeutic nature of dancing, suggesting that no matter what mistakes the singer has made, everything will be alright as long as they keep dancing.


The second verse of the song bemoans the singer's inability to control themselves, likening their behavior to that of a "playboy." The singer seems to have lost control of their actions and is struggling to keep the night under control. Again, the chorus reinforces the idea that dancing is the most important thing, providing an escape from the singer's worries. The song's final verse introduces a new perspective from a male voice, who is also taken in by the power of dancing and the many women on the dance floor.


Overall, "Just Dance" is a song about losing oneself in the moment, escaping worries and stresses, and embracing the healing power of music and dance.
