Everybody - Lyrics

Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor
(Get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more
(Make me want some more)

I’ve had my days of standing on shaky grounds
I want my life so fancy-free
I know that I can do it
I have to let me be
And I’ve had enough
And I know what’s right for me

Hey, I’ve done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let’s dance and shout
All you have to do is state my name out loud

Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor
(Get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more
(Make me want some more)

Listen
This time I’m leaving all my cares behind
I’ve tasted the good life and it’s fine
No more to pain and strife
This life’s waiting to be
And I’ve had enough
And I know what’s right for me

Hey, I’ve done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let’s dance and shout
’Cause we’re here to live so free
I’ve got to let me be

Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor
(Get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more
(Make me want some more)

Oh, everybody, yeah
Get down on the floor
(Get down on the floor)
’Cause I love the way you move
Shake your thing
You make me want some more, babe
(Make me want some more)

Hey, I’ve done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let’s dance and shout
’Cause we’re here to live so free
I’ve got to let me be

Oh, everybody
Gon’ get down on the floor
(Get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more, babe
(Make me want some more)

Oh, everybody
Gon’ get down on the floor
(Get down on the floor)
I love the way you move
The way you groove
You make me want some more, babe
(Make me want some more)

Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Make me want some more, babe
(Make me want some more)

Oh, everybody
We’re gonna get down on the floor
(Get down on the floor)
I love the way you groove
The way you move
You make me want some more
(Make me want some more)

Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Make me want some more babe
(Make me want some more))
I love, I love, I love, I love, I love
The way you
(Everything about you)
(Thing about you
(Thing about you)
(Thing about you)
