"Oh, don't you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me"

I said, "You're holding back"

She said, "Shut up and dance with me"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh, hoo, shut up and dance with me"

[Verse 1]

We were victims of the night

The chemical, physical kryptonite

Helpless to the bass and the fading light

Oh, we were bound to get together

Bound to get together

[Pre-Chorus]

She took my arm

I don't know how it happened

We took the floor and she said

[Chorus]

"Oh, don't you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me"

I said, "You're holding back"

She said, "Shut up and dance with me"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh, hoo, shut up and dance with me"

[Verse 2]

A backless dress and some beat-up sneaks

I knew we were bound to be together

[Pre-Chorus]

She took my arm

I don't know how it happened

We took the floor and she said

[Chorus]

"Oh, don't you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me"

I said, "You're holding back"

She said, "Shut up and dance with me"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh, hoo, shut up and dance with me"

[Break]

Oh, c'mon, girl

[Bridge]

Deep in her eyes

I think I see the future

I realize this is my last chance

She took my arm

I don't know how it happened

We took the floor and she said

[Chorus]

"Oh, don't you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me"

I said, "You're holding back"

She said, "Shut up and dance with me"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh, hoo, shut up and dance"

"Don't you dare look back

Just keep your eyes on me"

I said, "You're holding back"

She said, "Shut up and dance with me"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh, hoo, shut up and dance with me"

[Outro]

Ooh-ooh, hoo, shut up and dance with me

Ooh-ooh, hoo, shut up and dance with me
