[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 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
My discothèque Juliet, teenage dream
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me
I knew we were bound to be together
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
