Lyrics

[Intro]

Okay, it's the one with the acoustic, let's go! Are you ready? And-

[Instrumental]

Made my father cry, dressing like my mother

Need an alibi, calling on my brothers

Quick boys, time to ride

Walk the walk, side to side

Oh, yeah

[PreChorus]

There's the broken heart that got you here (Got you here)

Send a kiss across the room into the moonlight

Nothing but dirty love in here, nothing but dirty love

Oh me, oh my, I live, I die, oh

[Chorus]

This is the place to be tonight

No one else to please tonight

Standing in your own spotlight

Baby, what a dream tonight

Heaven is a place where we can dance forever

Hell, it isn't graceful but it's now or never

This is the place to be tonight

This is the place to be

[Verse 1]

Jukebox, cue the lights

Play me something Chaka

"Ain't Nobody" time

Watch out, you can't stop us

Back up, jump the line

Walk the walk, side to side

Oh, yeah-yay

[PreChorus]

There's the broken heart that got you here (Got you here)

Send a kiss across the room into the moonlight

Nothing but dirty love in here, nothing but dirty love

Oh me, oh my, I live, I die, oh

[Chorus]

This is the place to be tonight

No one else to please tonight

Standing in your own spotlight

Baby, what a dream tonight

Heaven is a place where we can dance forever

Hell, it isn't graceful but it's now or never

This is the place to be tonight

This is the place to be

[Instrumental]

This is the place to be tonight

This is the place to be

[Bridge]

Heaven is a place where we can dance forever

Hell, it isn't graceful but it's now or never

This is the place to be tonight

This is the place to be tonight

(This is the place to be tonight)

(This is the place to be tonight) Mmm, ooh, yeah

(This is the place to be tonight)

(This is the place to be tonight) This is the place to be

(This is the place to be tonight)

(This is the place to be tonight) This is the place

(This is the place to be tonight)

(This is the place to be) This is the place

[Chorus]

This is the place to be tonight (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

No one else to please tonight

Standing in your own spotlight (Standing in your own)

Baby, what a dream tonight

Heaven is a place where we can dance forever (Yes, it is, oh, baby)

Hell, it isn't graceful but it's now or never

This is the place to be tonight

This is the place to be
