[Verse 1]
I was comin' alive, I was breathin' fire
I was lookin' for more, and you took me higher
I was waitin' around, I was lookin' for heaven
What's a girl to do in 1977?

[Chorus]
I wanna thank the
I wanna thank the soul brothers
For teachin' me how to dance
Teachin' me how to move
I wanna thank the soul brothers
For teachin' me how to love
Teachin' me how to groove

[Verse 2]
Lookin' so superfly, you were soundin' so cool
You were askin' me out, and I was breakin' the rule
It was time to get down, it was goin' all night
And what's a girl to do around midnight?

[Chorus]
I wanna thank the
I wanna thank the soul brothers
For teachin' me how to dance
For teachin' me how to move
I wanna thank the soul brothers
For teachin' me how to love
Teachin' me how to groove, yeah
[Bridge]
I just wanna dance
I just wanna dance
Come on, come on, let me dance
Let's move

[Chorus]
I just wanna thank the
The soul brothers
For teachin' me how to dance
For teachin' me how to move
I wanna thank the soul brothers
For teachin' me how to love
Teachin' me how to groove
Soul brothers
Teachin' me how to dance (tell me how to dance)
Teachin' me how to move (tell me how to move)
I gotta thank the soul brothers
For teachin' me how to love
Teachin' me how to groove, yeah (whoa)
