Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Anybody blue?

Anybody needin' someone too?

Anyone feelin' cold?

No one there you can hold?

[PreChorus]

Don't wait to get old and gray

I'm gonna blow all the clouds away

'Cause there is nothing I would rather do

[Chorus]

Forget about the blues tonight, sweet thing

Forget about the rules tonight, sweet thing

I wanna dance with you

Until the sun comes creepin' through

I wanna dance with you

I won't stop pleasin' you

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 2]

Honey, for awhile

Give a girl a chance to show some style

If you got no love to spare

Tell me lies, I don't care

[PreChorus]

You better believe that I

I know some moves that we've gotta try

'Cause there is nothing I would rather do

[Chorus]

Forget about the blues tonight, sweet thing

Forget about the rules tonight, sweet thing

I wanna dance with you

Until the sun comes creepin' through

I wanna dance with you

I won't stop pleasin' you

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 3]

Lover, I wanna let you know

I won't take a backseat

Ain't willin' to let you go

I won't take a backseat

[PreChorus]

Don't wanna hear what you want

It's gotta be all my way

And I'm makin' sure you stay to see

I'm really a selfish man

I gotta get right to it

And lover, tonight I'm thinkin' of me

[Chorus]

Lover, I won't take a backseat tonight, ooh

Lover, gettin' on my two feet tonight, ooh

Got some dancin' to do

Got some dancin' to do

Got some dancin' to do

Got some dancin' to do

[Verse 4]

Can't let anyone get to you

I won't take a backseat

Let me show you what I can do

I won't take a backseat

[PreChorus]

It ain't funny to fool with me

I'll be a bad loser

You're gettin' me mad, using me

You tried putting a spell on me

'Cause I had a strange feeling

You better get down to healin' me

[Chorus]

Lover, I won't take a backseat tonight, ooh

Lover, gettin' on my two feet tonight, ooh

Got some dancin' to do

Got some dancin' to do

Got some dancin' to do

Got some dancin' to do

[Outro]

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Forget about the blues tonight, sweet thing

Lover, I won't take a backseat tonight, ooh

Forget about the rules tonight, sweet thing

Lover, gettin' on my two feet tonight, ooh

I wanna dance with you

Got some dancin' to do

Until the sun comes creepin' through

Got some dancin' to do

I wanna dance with you

Got some dancin' to do

I won't stop pleasin' you

Got some dancin' to do

Forget about the blues tonight, sweet thing

Lover, I won't take a backseat tonight, ooh

Forget about the rules tonight, sweet thing

Lover, gettin' on my two feet tonight, ooh

I wanna dance with you

Got some dancin' to do

Until the sun comes creepin' through

Got some dancin' to do

I wanna dance with you

Got some dancin' to do

I won't stop pleasin' you

Got some dancin' to do

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ooh
