I gotta dance
I gotta dance
I gotta dance

[Verse 1]
When I’m at home
At school
Window shopping
No matter where or why or when

I know it’s gonna move me
There’s no stopping
I know it’s gonna happen again

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I hear the music
Every time I hear it play
Can’t help myself
Just start to lose it
And when I get out on the floor
I wanna thank you, Mr. DJ

[Chorus]
I gotta dance
I can’t sit in my seat
I gotta dance
Each time I hear the beat
I gotta dance
Jump right up on my feet
I gotta dance
I gotta dance
Got rhythm in my soul
I gotta dance
It makes me lose control
I gotta dance
Freak out and let it go
I gotta dance
I gotta dance
I gotta dance

[Verse 2]
And when it hits me
There’s no explanation
No turning back
No reason or rhyme

‘Cause when it fills me
There’s no hesitation
I let the beat take over my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I hear the music
Every time I hear it play
Can’t help myself
Just start to lose it
And when I get out on the floor
I wanna thank you, Mr. DJ
[Chorus]
I gotta dance
I can’t sit in my seat
I gotta dance
Each time I hear the beat
I gotta dance
Jump right up on my feet
I gotta dance

I gotta dance
Got rhythm in my soul
I gotta dance
It makes me lose control
I gotta dance
Freak out and let it go
I gotta dance


[Bridge:]
Never gonna stop
I got-ta
Never gonna stop

[Repeat]
It could be a tango or a hip-hop
Boogy-oogy-oogy
Or a hard rock (I gotta dance)
Doesn’t matter what it is
I can’t stop
(I gotta dance)
It could be a tango or a hip-hop
Boogy-oogy-oogy
Or a hard rock (I gotta dance)
Doesn’t matter what it is
I can’t stop

[Repeat Chorus:]
I gotta dance
I can’t sit in my seat
I gotta dance
Each time I hear the beat
I gotta dance
Jump right up on my feet
I gotta dance

I gotta dance
Got rhythm in my soul
I gotta dance
It makes me lose control
I gotta dance
Freak out and let it go
I gotta dance
