Lyrics to my top ten favorite  dance songs

#10
“Into The Groove" by Madonna
written by Madonna and Stephen Bray
album: “The Immaculate Collection"

And you can dance
For inspiration
Come on come on
I'm waiting

chorus:
Get into the groove
Boy, you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet
Yea, step to the beat
Boy, what will it be

Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around, you feel a sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm's right
I hope this feeling never ends tonight

bridge:
Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors where no else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

(repeat chorus)

Gonna get to know you in a special way
This doesn't happen to me everyday
Don't try to hid it love wears no disguise
I see the fire burning in your eyes

(repeat bridge)
(repeat chorus)

bridge 2:
Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body and move in time
Now I know you're mine

You've got to

(repeat chorus)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat bridge 2)

Now I know you're mine (x4)
You've got to

(repeat chorus)


#9
“Tragedy" by The Bee Gees
written by Barry Gibb
album: “Greatest Hits"

Here I lie
In a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time
In a world of tears I slowly drown
Goin' home
I just can't make it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you
Loving you

chorus:
Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you you're goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you you're goin' nowhere
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

Night and day
There's a burning down inside of me
Burning love
With a yearning that won't let me be
Down I go
And I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holding you
Holding you
Loving you
Loving you

(repeat chorus)


#8
“Let The Music Play" by Shannon
written by Edward Chisholm and Christopher Maynard Barbosa
album: “Atlantic Dance Classics, vol. 1"

We started dancing and love put us into a groove
As soon as we started to move
The music played while our bodies displayed through the dance
Then love picked us out for romance
I thought it was clear the plan was we would share
This feeling just betwen ourselves
But when the music changed
The plan was re-arranged
He went to dance with someone else

We started dancing and love put us into a groove
But now he's with somebody new
What does love want me to do
Love said

chorus:
Let the music play
He won't get away
Just keep the groove and then he'll come back to you again
Let it play
Let the music play
He won't get away
This groove he can't ignore
He won't leave you anymore
No, no, no

He tried pretending a dance is just a dance but I see
He's dancing his way back to me
Guess he's discovered we are truly lovers
Magic from the very start
Cause love just kept me groovin'
And he felt me movin'
Even though we danced apart

So we started dancing an love put us into a groove
As soon as we started to move
As soon as we started to move
Love said

(repeat chorus)

He tried pretending a dance is just a dance but I see
He's dancing his way back to me
He's dancing his way back to me
Love said

(repeat chorus till fade)

“Erotic City" by Prince
written by Prince
album: b-side of "Let's Go Crazy"

I...I...I...I...
Erotic city
Erotic city

All of my purple life
I've been looking for a dame
That would wanna be my wife
That was my intention babe

chorus:
If we cannot make babies
Maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty u and me
Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn
Making love til cherry's gone
Erotic City can't u see
Thoughts of pretty u and me

Everytime I come my hair
Thoughts of u get in my eyes
U're a sinner I don't care
I just want your creamy thighs

(repeat chorus)

All of my hang-ups r gone
How I wish u felt the same
We can funk until the dawn (til the dawn)
How I wish u were my dame (Baby won't u call my name)

(repeat chorus)

Baby, u're so creamy

(repeat chorus till fade)

“Everybody Everybody" by Black Box
written by Mirko Limoni/Valerio Semplici/Daniele Davoli
album: “Dreamland"

You won't belong to me
I let you down
I walk around and see your night skyline
I feel the light but you don't want to stay
So lonely now, just me off downtown
Sad and free
Sad and free
Sad and free
Sad and free

When I said it was over, you aimed at my heart
Won't be long for I'm leaving all my love
But I'll feel it forever, no sounds in my life
You can call that no livin' on my own, so free

chorus:
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Oh everybody
Oh everybody
Everybody
Oh everybody
Oh Everybody

You took me easy and then let me go
I never was, you see, that cheatin' kind
You feel all right, you never looked for me
So long, it's time, I've gotta get on by
Sad and free
Sad and free
Sad and free
Sad and free

(repeat chorus)

When I said it was over, you aimed at my heart
Won't be long for I'm leaving all my love
but I'll feel it forever, no sounds in my life
You can call that no livin' on my own, so free


#5
“Wishing Well" by Terence Trent D'Arby
written by Terence Trent D'Arby
album: "Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby"

Kissing like a bandit stealing time
Underneath a sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly
But surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly
Softly
I'm falling in love with you

chorus:
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile tears

Hugging like a monkey see monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head
So I wanna be
Your midnight rambler
Quickly
Quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly
Loudly
I wanna hear those sugars bells ring

(repeat chorus)

#4
“Nobody's Supposed To Be Here" by Deborah Cox
written by Montell Du'Sean Jordan and Anthony Crawford
album: “One Wish"

chorus:
How did you get here
Nobody's supposed to be here
I've tried that love thing for the last time
My heart said no, no
Nobody's supposed to be here
But you came along and changed my mind

I've spent all my life
On a search to find
The love who'll stay for eternity
That heaven sent to fulfill my needs
But when I turn around
Again love has knocked me down
My heart got broke and oh it hurts so bad
I'm sad to say love wins again

bridge:
So I placed my heart under lock and key
To take some time and take care of me
But I turn around and you're standing here

(repeat chorus)

This time I swear I'm through
But if only you knew
How many time I've said those words
Then fall again, when will I ever learn
Knowing these tears I cry
This lovely black butterfly
Must take a chance
And spread my wings
Love can mae you do some crazy things

(repeat bridge)

How did you
How did you get here
Nobody's supposed to be here
Nobody, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No

(repeat chorus till fade)


#3
“Everyday Is Halloween" by Ministry
written by Alain Jourgensen
album: “Twelve Inch Singles 1981-1984"

Well I live with snakes and lizards
And other things that go bump in the night
Cause to me everyday is Halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight
Well any time, any place
Anywhere that I go
All the people seem to stop and stare
They say
Why are you dressed like it's Halloween
You look so absurd, you look so obscene

chorus:
Oh, why can't I live a life for me
Why should I take the abuse that's served
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same
It's the same in the whole wide world

Well, I let their teeny mind think
That they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
And I dress this way just to keep them at bay
Cause Halloween is everyday
It's everyday oh

(repeat chorus)

Oh, why can't I live a life for me
Why should I take the abuse that's served
Why can't they see they're just like me
I'm not the one that's so absurd
Why hide it?
Why fight it?
Hurt feelings best to stop feeling hurt
From denials, reprisals
It's the same it's the same
In the whole wide world


#2
“We Are Family" by Sister Sledge
written by Bernard Edwards and Niles Rodgers
album: “We Are Family"

chorus:
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up everybody and sing

Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by (fly)
And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie (all)
all of the people arounds us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose

(repeat chorus twice)

Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights (high)
High hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight (we)
No we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family jewel
