A
                    A
I used to go out to parties

And stand around

'Cause I was too nervous

To really get down
       D   E           A            B
And my body yearned to be free
                   D                E
So I got up on the floor and found
                  A                 B
Somebody to choose me
        A
No more standin' along the side walls

Now I've got myself together, baby

And I'm havin' a ball
            D                       E
Long as you prove it
                 A                  B
There's always a chance
         D                          E
Somebody watches
                 A                  B
I'm gonna make romance
          A
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night

Get down and prove it, feel all right...


        A
Keep on dancin'

Got to give it up
