    You've got a cute way of talkin'
    You got the better of me
    Just snap your fingers and I'm walkin'
    Like a dog hangin' on your lead

    I'm in a spin you know
    Shakin' on a string you know

    You make me feel like dancin'
    I'm gonna dance the night away

    I ain't feelin' tired, no, no, no, no, no
    Just hold me tight and leave on the light
    'Cause I don't wanna go home

    You put a spell on me
    I'm right where you want me to be

    You make me feel like dancin'
    I'm gonna dance the night away
    You make me feel like dancin'
    I'm gonna dance the night away

    You really slipped me a potion
    I can't get off the of the floor
    All this perpetual motion
    You gotta give me some more
    You gotta give me some more

    And if you'll let me stay (ah)
    We'll dance our lives away (ah)

    You make me feel like dancin'
    I wanna dance my life away
    You make me feel like dancin'
    I wanna dance my life away
    You make me feel like dancin'
    I wanna dance my life away

    You make me feel like dancin'
    I wanna dance my life away (I feel) Writer/s: Leo Sayer, Vincent Jr. Poncia
