  • Mister
    Your eyes are full of hesitation
    Sure makes me wonder
    If you know what you're looking for

    Baby
    I wanna keep my reputation
    I'm a sensation
    You try me once, you'll beg for more

    Oh, yes sir, I can boogie
    But a I need a certain song
    I can boogie, boogie-boogie
    All night long

    Yes sir, I can boogie
    If you stay, you can't go wrong
    I can boogie, boogie-boogie
    All night long

    No sir
    I don't feel very much like talking
    No, neither walking
    You wanna know if I can dance

    Yes sir
    Already told you in the first verse
    And in the chorus
    But I will give you one more chance

    Oh, yes sir, I can boogie
    But a need a certain song
    I can boogie, boogie-boogie
    All night long

    Yes sir, I can boogie
    If you stay, you can't go wrong
    I can boogie, boogie-boogie
    All night long

    Yes sir, I can boogie
    If you stay, you can't go wrong
    I can boogie, boogie-boogie
    All night long

    Yes sir, I can boogie
    But a need a certain song
    I can boogie, boogie-boogie
    All night long

    Yes sir, I can boogie (I can boogie)
    If you stay, you can't go wrong
    I can boogie, (I can boogie) boogie-boogie
    All night long

    Yes sir, I can boogie (I can boogie)
    If you stay, you can't go wrong
    I can boogie, (I can boogie) boogie-boogie
    All night long (all night long)

    Yes sir, I can boogie
    If you stay, you can't go wrong
    I can boogie, boogie-boogie
    All night long Writer/s: Frank Dostal, Rolf Soja

  • Daryl LFirst time I heard this track, I thought for sure it was Thelma Houston's "Don't leave me this way"! Feels like more than just an "influence".
  • Paul Osman from Liverpool, EnglandThis song is a total rip off of Don't Leave Me This Way. The breathed intro is a direct copy of Harold Melvin and Thelma Houston. It probably wasn't released in the USA because anyone with half a musical ear could spot the rip off. Gamble and Huff should have sued Distal and Soha for composing credits and royalties.
  • Marie from TutburyCadbury used this song in 2015 for an advert as part of their #FreeTheJoy campaign and I think it was very fitting!
  • Dave from Wheaton, IlDefinitely sounds like it was influenced by Thelma Houston's 'Don't leave me this way'.
