[Intro: Britney Spears]
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1: Elton John & Britney Spears, Elton John]
I saw you dancin' out the ocean
Runnin' fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flyin' from your hands (Oh)

[Chorus: Elton John & Britney Spears, Britney Spears]
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today, oh

[Post-Chorus: Elton John, Elton John & Britney Spears, Purple Disco Machine]
Hold me closer, hold me closer (Hold me closer)
Hold me closer, hold me closer
Hold me closer, hold me closer

[Verse 2: Elton John, Britney Spears & Elton John & Britney Spears]
There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels, baby (Yeah)
When chances breathe between the silence
Where sex and love no longer gel, oh
[Chorus: Elton John & Britney Spears, Britney Spears, Purple Disco Machine]
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway (Yeah)
Lay me down in sheets of linen (Won't you lay me down?)
You had a busy day today (Today)

[Post-Chorus: Elton John & Britney Spears, Britney Spears, Purple Disco Machine]
Hold me closer (Hold me closer), hold me closer (Baby, baby)
Hold me closer (Hold me closer), hold me closer (Oh, yeah)

[Outro: Britney Spears, Elton John & Britney Spears, Purple Disco Machine]
Hold me closer, closer, closer, ooh
Hold me closer (Hold me closer), hold me closer
Hold me closer (Hold me closer), hold me closer
