Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said, "You're holding back"
She said, "Shut up and dance with me"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-hoo
Shut up and dance with me"
[Verse 1]
We were victims of the night
The chemical, physical kryptonite
Helpless to the bass and the fading light
Oh, we were bound to get together
Bound to get together
[PreChorus]
She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said
[Chorus]
"Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me"
I said, "You're holding back"
She said, "Shut up and dance with me"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-hoo
Shut up and dance with me"
[Verse 2]
A backless dress and some beat up sneaks
My discotheque, Juliet teenage dream
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me
I knew we were bound to be together
Bound to be together
[PreChorus]
She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said
[Chorus]
"Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me"
I said, "You're holding back"
She said, "Shut up and dance with me"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-hoo
Shut up and dance with me"
Ah, c'mon, girl
[Bridge]
Deep in her eyes
I think I see the future
I realize this is my last chance
She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said
[Chorus]
Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said, "You're holding back"
She said, "Shut up and dance with me"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-hoo
Shut up and dance"
[Chorus]
Don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said, "You're holding back"
She said, "Shut up and dance with me"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-hoo
Shut up and dance with me"
[Outro]
Ooh-hoo, shut up and dance with me
Ooh-hoo, shut up and dance with me
