Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One hundred and twenty five
Beats to, beats to the minute
One hundred and twenty five
You get the notion with the motion
Then you're out on the floor
[Verse 2]
Fahrenheit, one hundred and two (Ooh-oh)
Centigrade, it's gettin' to you
Your heart is beatin' (Beatin') eight to the bar
You can't control it, so you hold it
Then you're out on the floor
[Verse 3]
On the floor
You feel it comin' to ya
On the floor
You know it's gettin' through ya
On the floor
You can't control the feelin'
Let it go
[Verse 4]
(See the faces passin', smile in time)
Say, hey, can I take you home tonight?
(See the faces passin', all in line)
But she knows you're throwin' a line
She's heard it before, she'll hear it again
It's the same pitch every time
[Verse 5]
(Change your line of patter)
(Make her laugh, not at her)
(Change your line of patter)
She says her friend wants to say hello
But you really don't wanna go
It's great, you're throwin' your glances to her that you wanna go
(Make her laugh, not at her)
[Verse 6]
Don't let her stray, it's a Saturday night
The boys are after trouble, you're in for a fight
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 7]
One hundred and twenty five
Beats to, beats to the minute
One hundred and twenty five
You get the notion with the motion
Then you're out on the floor
[Verse 8]
Fahrenheit, one hundred and two (Oh-oh)
Centigrade, it's gettin' to you
Your heart is beatin' (Beatin') eight to the bar
You can't control it, so you hold it
Then you're out on the floor
[Verse 9]
On the floor
You feel it comin' to ya
On the floor
You know it's gettin' through ya
On the floor
You can't control the feelin'
Let it go
[Verse 10]
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R)
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R-E)
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R-E-G)
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R-E-G-G)
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R-E-G-G-A)
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R-E-G-G-A-E)
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R-E-G-G-A-E)
Reggae, reggae, reggae, reggae (R-E-G-G-A-E)
[Verse 11]
(See the faces passin', smile in time)
Say if you're lookin' to take me home
(See the faces passin', all in line)
I'd better not be in late
But the look on her face, the smile in her eyes say
"Baby, I'm gonna wait"
[Verse 12]
(See the faces swimmin', hear the music dimmin')
I'm all danced out, I'm all done in
(See the faces swimmin', hear the music dimmin')
And I'm startin' to talk out of tune
We can go on a ride, jump in a boat
We can dance by the light of the moon
[Verse 13]
One hundred and twenty five (Ooh)
Beats to, beats to the minute
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
