  • (Aah, uh-huh)
    (Aah, uh-huh)

    You've got a cute way of talking
    You got the better of me
    Just snap your fingers and I'm walking
    Like a dog hanging on your lead
    I'm in a spin, you know
    Shaking on a string, you know

    You make me feel like dancing, I'm gonna dance the night away
    You make me feel like dancing, I'm gonna dance the night away
    You make feel like dancing
    I feel like dancing, dancing (whoo, whoo!)
    Dance the night away (yeah!)
    I feel like dancing (whoo!) dancing, aah!

    Quarter to four in the morning
    I ain't feeling tired, no, no, no, no, no
    Just hold me tight and leave on the light
    'Cause I don't want to go home
    You put a spell on me
    I'm right where you want me to be

    You make me feel like dancing, I'm gonna dance the night away
    You make me feel like dancing, I'm gonna dance the night away
    You make feel like dancing
    I feel like dancing, dancing (whoo, whoo!)
    Dance the night away (yeah!)
    I feel like dancing (whoo!) dancing (whoo!)
    Dance the night away
    I feel like dancing (whoo!) dancing (whoo!)
    Dance the night away (yeah!)
    I feel like dancing (whoo!) dancing (whoo!) oh!

    Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
    Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
    Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
    Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
    Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
    Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

    And if you'll let me stay
    We'll dance our lives away
    You make me feel like dancing, I want to dance my life away
    You make me feel like dancing, I want to dance my life away
    You make me feel like dancing, I want to dance my life away
    You make me feel like dancing, I want to dance my life away
    You make me feel just like dancing, I want to dance my life away Writer/s: Leo Sayer, Vincent Jr. Poncia
