Baby you’ll be able to
Find me under the lights
Diamonds under my eyes
Turn the rhythm up
Don’t you wanna just
Come along for the ride
Oh my outfit so tight
You’ll be able to see my heart beat tonight
I can take the warmth
Baby best imagine
That’s the moment I shine
Cuz every romance
Shakes and it bends
Don’t give a rattling
When the nights here
I don’t do tears
Baby no probability
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Watch me, dance
Dance the night away
My heart may very well be burning but you won’t see it on my face
Watch me, dance
Dance the night away
I’ll still keep the party running not one hair misplaced
Currently I’ve been
Moving near the sting
Still be looking my best
I stay on the beat
You’ll be able to count on me
I ain’t missing no steps
Cuz every romance
Shakes and it bends
Don’t give a rattling
When the nights here
I don’t do tears
Baby no probability
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Watch me, dance
Dance the night away
My heart may very well be burning but you won’t see it on my face
Watch me, dance
Dance the night away
I’ll still keep the party running not one hair misplaced
When my heart breaks
You’ll never see it, never see it
When my world shakes
I feel alive, I feel alive
I don’t play protected
Don’t you understand about me
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Even when the tears are flowing
They’re diamonds on my face
I’ll still keep the party going not one hair misplaced
Even when the tears are flowing
They’re diamonds on my face
I’ll still keep the party going not one hair misplaced
Watch me, dance
Dance the night away
My heart may very well be burning but you won’t see it on my face
Watch me, dance
Dance the night away
I’ll still keep the party running not one hair misplaced
When my heart breaks
You’ll never see it, never see it
When my world shakes
I feel alive, I feel alive
I don’t play protected
Don’t you understand about me
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
Dance the night
