Zoli Ádok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s raining on your body as you’re puttin’ up a fight
The way you’re moving, how you groove is somewhere out of sight
You know it’s only fair to tell you that you do it right
Now with a little luck, I’m gonna meet you on the dance floor
Just by the way you move, you make me beg for more
I’m burning with desire, it’s the night I’ve waited for
Don’t you lose your emotion
Don’t you be shy tonight
Let the rhythm show you
Baby, you can do it right
Alright tonight
Come on, dance with me, make me lose my way
Take a chance with me, make my body sway
It’s an overload in a disco fantasy
Let’s dance the night away
Just yesterday we were on the floor
Like somewhere in a movie or a club in Singapore
The lights are bright, the mood is raw
And in the middle of the night, we dance till we get sore
And in the middle of the night, I’ll meet you on the dancefloor
Gonna meet you, move your body, beg for more
With a rhythm and a beat, I’ll rock you to the core
Don’t you lose your emotion
Don’t you be shy tonight
Let the rhythm show you
Baby, you can do it right
Alright tonight
Come on, dance with me, make me lose my way
Take a chance with me, make my body sway
It’s an overload in a disco fantasy
Let’s dance the night away
Dance with me
Dance dance dance with me
Dance with me
Come on, dance with me, make me lose my way
Take a chance with me, make my body sway
It’s an overload in a disco fantasy
Let’s dance the night away
Come on, dance with me, make me lose my way
Take a chance with me, make my body sway
It’s an overload in a disco fantasy
Let’s dance the night away
