Oh, everybody, get down on the floor

I love the way you shake your thing

You make me want some more



I've had my days of standing on shaky ground

I want my life so fancy-free

I know that I can do it

I have to let me be

And I've had enough

And I know What's right for me



I've done my time and I have paid the price

All you have to do

Is state my name out loud

Forget your worries

And let's dance and shout

All you have to do

Is state my name out loud



Oh, everybody, get down on the floor

I love the way you shake your thing

You make me want some more



This time I'm leaving all my cares behind

I've tasted the good life and it's fine

No more to pain and strife, this life's waiting to be

And I've had enough

And I know what's right for me



I've done my time and I have paid the price

All you have to do

Is state my name out loud

Forget your worries

And let's dance and shout

'Cause we're here to live so free

I've got to let me be



Oh, everybody, get down on the floor

I love the way you shake your thing

You make me want some more



Oh, everybody, get down on the floor

'Cause I love the way you move,

Shake your thing

You make me want some more
