i gotta dance

i gotta dance

i gotta dance

i gotta dance

when i'm at home

at school

window shopping

no matter where

or why

or when

i know it's gonna move me

there's no stopping

i know its 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 want to thank you mr. 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

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 want to thank you mr. 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

boogy-oogy-oogy or a hard rock

doesn't matter what it is i can't stop

it could be a tango or a hip-hop

boogy-oogy-oogy or a hard rock

doesn't matter what it is i can't stop

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
