Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't know what's gonna happen to you, baby

But I do know that I love ya

You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky

And I do know that I want ya

[Chorus]

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

[Verse 2]

You tease me with your lovin' to play hard-to-get

'Cause ya do know that I want ya

You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky

And ya do know that I want ya

[Chorus]

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

[Refrain]

Shake it on down

[Verse 3]

You're the spark that lit the fire inside of me

And ya do know that I love it

I need to do just somethin' to get closer to your soul

And ya do know that I want ya

[Chorus]

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

[Chorus]

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

[Verse 4]

You tease me with your lovin' to play hard-to-get

'Cause ya do know that I want ya

I need to do just somethin' to get closer to your soul

And ya do know that I want ya

[Chorus]

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Shout)

Take it over!

[Bridge]

Yeah, takin' over!

Ooh!

Takin' over!

[Chorus]

Let's dance, let's shout (Dance, shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Dance, shout)

Shake your body down to the ground (Onto the ground)

Let's dance, let's shout (Dance, shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Let's dance and shout)

Shake your body down to the ground, ooh

[Outro]

Down, down, down, down, down

Takin' over!

Ooh!

You know I'm the one to move, and

[Outro]

Let's dance, let's shout (Dance, shout)

Right down to the ground

Dance, dance, shout

Dance, dance, shout

Dance, dance, shout

[Outro]

Let's dance, let's shout

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout

Shake your body down to the ground

[Outro]

Shake it all down (Let's dance, let's shout)

Shake your body down to the ground (Yeah)

Let's dance, let's shout, shake your body down to the ground

Shake it on out (Let's dance, let's shout)

Shake your body down to the ground, let's dance, let's shout

Shake your body down to the ground (I just wanna)

[Outro]

Let's dance, let's shout (Dance, dance, shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Dance, dance, shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Let's dance, let's shout (Dance, dance, shout)

Shake your body down to the ground

Yeah, ooh! (Dance, dance, shout)
