I gotta dance
I gotta dance
I gotta dance

When I'm at home, at school, or window shopping
No matter where or why or when
I know it's gonna move me, there's no stopping
I know it's gonna happen again

Every time I hear the music
Every time I hear it play
Can't help myself, just start to lose it
And when I get out on the floor, I wanna thank you Mister DJ

I gotta dance, I can't sit in my seat
I gotta dance, each time I hear the beat
I gotta dance, jump right up on my feet
I gotta dance

I gotta dance, got rhythm in my soul
I gotta dance, it makes me lose control
I gotta dance, freak out and let it go
I gotta dance
I gotta dance

I gotta dance

And when it hits me there's no explanation
No turning back, no reason or rhyme
'Cause when it fills me, there's no hesitation
I let the beat take over my mind

Every time I hear the music
Every time I hear it play
Can't help myself, just start to lose it
And when I get out on the floor, I wanna thank you Mister DJ

I gotta dance, I can't sit in my seat
I gotta dance, each time I hear the beat
I gotta dance, jump right up on my feet
I gotta dance

I gotta dance, got rhythm in my soul
I gotta dance, it makes me lose control
I gotta dance, freak out and let it go
I gotta dance

Never gonna stop I got-ta
Never gonna stop

It could be a tango or a hip-hop
Boogie-oogie-oogie or a hard rock (I gotta dance)
Doesn't matter what it is I can't stop (I gotta dance)
