Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There you sit
All by yourself
Everybody's dancin'
They cannot help themselves
[Verse 2]
The groove is much too strong
You cannot hold out long, long
So get up, don't fight it
You got to feel it (Feel it, feel it)
[Verse 3]
You better get on up
And get that groove
You know what, baby?
I like the way you move
[Verse 4]
You do that thing
Like you oughta be, alright
So don't fight it
Oh baby, yeah, yeah
(Feel it, feel it)
[Verse 5]
The way you jerk
The way you do the twine
You're too much, baby
I'd like to make you mine
[Verse 6]
And after the dance
I'm gonna take you home
So don't fight it
Baby, you've got to feel it
(Feel it, feel it)
[Verse 7]
Don't fight it (Feel it, feel it) oh no
You got to feel it (Feel it, feel it)
You can't fight it
