Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Lord, give me grace and dancin' feet

And the power to impress

Lord, give me grace and dancin' feet

Let me outshine them all

[Verse 2]

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?

Second best runner up

Is it so wrong to want rewardin'?

To want more than is given to you?

Than is given to you

[Verse 3]

Tonight, make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice, I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight, make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice, I will dazzle, I will outshine 'em all

[Verse 4]

Standin' on the packed dance floor

Our bodies throb in time

Silent on the weekdays

Tonight I claim what's mine

[Verse 5]

Is it so wrong to crave recognition?

Second best runner up

Is it so wrong to want rewardin'?

To want more than is given to you?

Than is given to you

[Verse 6]

Tonight, make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice, I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight, make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice, I will dazzle, I will outshine 'em all

[Verse 7]

Tonight, make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice, I will dazzle them with my wit

Tonight, make me unstoppable

And I will charm, I will slice, I will dazzle, I will outshine 'em all
