Well you wait for the beat
And everybody starts to shake it
Party's flyin' trying to make it
With the rhythm and the rhyme
And how you'd love to stay
'Til the last goodbyes are spoken
Records playin' 'til they're broken
And you're thinkin' double time

Baby, don't get me wrong
I don't mind a little rockin' on
I don't mind a little sing-song
And I've been known to drink a drop
But if you stay 'til dawn
And you really start to get down
I'm afraid you'll do a turn-around
And you'll never want to stop

So I don't care if I never see a whole lot of shakin' goin' on
It isn't fair if you never turn your lovin' on
So I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
I don't need a crowd and the music loud to enjoy the song
And I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
All night long
Isn't it hard, keeping up a lot of energy
Are you taken in by fantasy
Or is it just the rock 'n roll?
And your words of love
Wouldn't they be sweeter whispered low
Listening to your own ebb and flow
It's a soothin' to the soul

I don't care if I never see a whole lot of shakin' goin' on
It isn't fair if you never turn your lovin' on
So I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
I don't need a crowd and the music loud to enjoy the song, oh no
I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
All night long

I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
I don't need a crowd and the music loud to enjoy the song
I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
All night long

I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
I don't need a crowd and the music loud to enjoy the song
I don't want to see you dancin' all night long
