When I feel like dancing, when I feel like getting groovy I wanna hear my favorite song, DJ play it to me ‘Cause when I feel like dancing something inside it moves me So grab your girls get on the floor, and if it feels right do it We go out dancing we just keep on pushing to the front Gotta get up on that dancefloor There’ll be sweatin’ maybe just a little regrettin’ But you don’t stop me when I’m in my groove When I feel like dancing, when I feel like getting groovy I wanna hear all my favorite songs so you better put ‘em on ‘Cause when I feel like dancing I gotta grab my girls on the dancefloor with me We’ll be cutting a rug and all you boys can get up And if it feels right we’re gonna keep on doing it yeah We go out dancing we just keep on pushing to the front Gotta get up on that dancefloor There’ll be sweatin’ maybe just a little regrettin’ But you don’t stop me when I’m in my groove

Sidewalk 03:11
You shouldn’t ride your bike on the sidewalk There’s only so much space for my feet to walk Too much outdoor seating on my block This lack of freedom’s turning me into a time bomb You shouldn’t drop your trash on the sidewalk There’s too many kids outside with their sidewalk chalk Spew it up your smokestacks early so no one can watch Don’t educate the kids so they turn into a flash mob You shouldn’t feed the hungry on the sidewalk The Health department says it’s against the law But you can get shot not doing anything at all Said this lack of freedom’s turning me into a time bomb You better stay in your lane here on my block / (when you’re on my block?) Stare out your window like you’re the neighborhood watch Hey lady, Nobody cares if you think I’m right or I’m wrong But this lack of freedom’s turning me into a time bomb Still I’m here wondering where’s my funking sidewalk?… like where did it go?

You’re bad news You leave every girl that you meet with the blues I was into you but as your charm wore off I came to learn the truth Yeah you’re bad news I’ll say it louder so I won’t be misconstrued You’re up to no good I need to go but I’m stuck to you like glue (can’t quitcha, gotta ditcha) Yeah I gotta leave Yeah I gotta go Now I’ve got to choose In each and every scenario I lose ‘Cause I was good to you Now I’m warning all the girls so they don’t fall for your rouse yeah You’re no good I’ll say it one more time so you’ll know that it’s true My heart is in my throat I know I’ve got to go You’ve done me wrong and I can’t take it no more Yeah I gotta leave Yeah I gotta go Yeah I gotta leave, I gotta go I gotta leave gotta go can’t take anymore I gotta leave, Yeah I gotta go, You know, you know

Run and try to hide when things get funky That’s not my style, Not how I fly Blissfully ignore the world outside you Living in denial - not how I fly Things will stay the same and if you want things to ever change you need to learn the truth I don’t think it’s fair for your to act like you even care like you even do? See if you can try to look outside your life? Can you even try? Because now’s the time Or keep on putting big old band-aids on your problems But it’s not how I am gonna handle mine Things will stay the same and if you want things to ever change you need to hear the truth - you do I don’t think it’s fair for you to act like you even care like you even could It’s all up to you - and you know it! Run and try to hide when things get fucked up That’s your style. That’s just how you fly Pretending everything is great and there’s no problems That’s not gonna solve it - No, no, no, no I think it’s time to change, I think it’s time for us to re-arrange things I really do, I really think we should I don’t think it’s fair for you to act like you even care like you even do It’s all up to you and you know it

Step It Up 04:19
I hear a voice it tells me I have no choice It lies to me Same old sounds follow me around Compromising everything I see You don’t appear as you truly seem to be but you can be your truest self without a care or worry Been down that road many, many times before Stare down the wrong hole and a serpent pops up to bite you It’s good as gold to know we still got a ways to go But we’ve all got to carry our own load But wrong or right ya - wrong or right you gotta step it up I seek advice you tell me the same thing twice It ain’t my style, no no It’s getting loud but you know that I’m too proud find my own way to drown it out You can disappear hide your face from all you see But then you can never be your truest self Without a care or worry Been down that road many, many times before Stare down the wrong hole and a serpent pops up to bite you I been told you know we still got a ways to go And we’ve all got to carry our own load But wrong or right ya - wrong or right you gotta step it up Been down that road many, many times before Stare down the wrong hole and a serpent pops up to bite you I been told you know we still got a ways to go And we’ve all got to carry our own load But wrong or right ya - wrong or right you gotta step it up
