E F#m/C# B/D# G#m/D# C#m/E F#m/C# B/D#
[Verse 1: Girl]
Hey! EListen now it's coming so close
I'll let the rhythm Asurround me
I'm getting G#m/D#itchy and I'm ready Bto move
I'm mighty glad that you found Eme
There's a Edrummer going at it way down in the core of my Asoul
There's no G#m/D#escaping the music and I'm pB/D#syching up my feet
And they're A/C#telling me we're B/D#ready to Eroll
There are Atimes when I can fight it but Bnow's the time I want to give Ein
C#m/C#Sooner or later we'll get around to F#m/C#love
But Bnow's the time to shake it
Oh Baby let the party Abegin
BBaby let the party Ebegin
When I Awoke up this morning and I looked out my window
I could Esee the sky was cloudy and gray
There was a Achill in the air and a pain in my heart
And the Ethunder it was coming my way
Oh, it was Alooking pretty bad and I was so alone
And there Ewas any place to Ago
But now I'm Eout of the blue, I know what BI got to do
And Asomething in me's starting to Egrow
I can Afeel it in me starting to Bgrow...grow...grow...grow...
[Chorus: Girl]
EI got dance in my pants
AEvery time I feel the Bpower in a radio Ewave
I turn it up all the Bway
EI got dance in my pants
AEvery time I see the Bglory of a good-looking Eface
Well I just got to Bsay, "Hey now, Adon't you worry baby, everyEthing'll be fine
We got Anothing but the best and we got Enothing but time
And there'll Aalways be a time when they'll be Ewaiting in line
To be Bdancing, Bdancing..."
AYou don't say nothing all Eweek, you're getting ready for
BDancing, Bdancing
And now your Abody really knows how to Espeak, you're getting ready for
BDancing, Bdancing
AYou don't say nothing all Eweek, you're getting ready for
BDancing, Bdancing
ANow your body really knows how to Espeak, you're getting ready
ACome on, take a Echance
You got a Awhole lotta style and a Eload of romance
And Bme, B/D#me, B/F#me, Bme... I got dance in my Epants...
I got dance in my F#pants...
I got dance in my EmpantsA...
[Verse 2a: Boy]
I'm a Dlover not a dancer
I'm a Bm/Dlover not a dancer
Don't want to Gbe on my feet when I can Embe on my back
Don't want to C/Ebe on the floor when I can Abe in the sack
I'm a Dlover not a dancer
I'm a Bm/Dlover not a dancer
I'm just a Glittle bit tired if you Emknow what I mean
Don't want to C/Ebe in a crowd when I can Abe in a dream
I'm a Dlover not a dancer, G#m/D#Baby
A/C#Baby let me prove it to G/Dyou
A/C#Baby let me prove it to Dyou
[Verse 2b: Girl]
We can Grock it really hard or we can roll it really slow
We can D/F#lift it really high or we can dip it really low
We can Ghold it in tight or we can let it all out
Or we can Awork up a sweat and really stomp it and shout
Let me Gpull you so close and then we'll break away fast
We'll be the Cbest on the floor we got the cool and the flash
We'll make a Fdangerous turn but we'll come out of it fine
I know the Abest of the moves we'll get them right every time
[Verse 2c: Boy]
I'm a Dlover not a dancer
I'm a Bm/Dlover not a dancer
Don't want to Gbe on my feet when I can Embe on my back
Don't want to C/Ebe on the floor when I can Abe in the sack
I'm a Dlover not a dancer
I'm a Bm/Dlover not a dancer
I'm just a Glittle bit tired if you Emknow what I mean
Don't want to C/Ebe in a crowd when I can Abe in a dream
I'm a Dlover not a dancer, G#m/D#Baby
A/C#Baby let me prove it to Gyou
A/C#Baby let me prove it to Dyou
