Lyrics

Ooh I feel somethin’ baby
And I want you to know about it
See I want you to feel it, too
So just listen to me baby

Can’t stop me now hear what I say
My feet want to move so get out my way
I’m gonna have my say
I’m going to every discotheque
I’m gonna dance dance dance dance ooh
‘Till the break of day I say

Shame shame shame hey shame on you
If you can’t dance too
I said shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can’t dance too

Don’t stop the motion
If you get the notion
You can’t stop the groove
‘Cause you just won’t move
Got my sunroof down
Got my diamonds in the back
Put on your shaky wig woman
If you don’t I ain’t comin’ back

Shame shame shame hey shame on you
If you can’t dance too
I said shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can’t dance too

If you don’t want to go
Remember one monkey don’t stop no show
My body needs action ain’t gonna blow
Yes I’m going out and find a dancin’ man

If you really think you’re fast
Try to catch me if you can
And I said shame shame shame yeah (ah) shame on you
If you can’t dance too
It’s a shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can’t dance too

Shame shame shame hey shame on you
If you can’t dance too
I said shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can’t dance too

Don’t stop the motion
If you get the notion
You can’t stop the groove
‘Cause you just won’t move
Got my sunroof down
Got my diamonds in the back
Put on your shaky wig woman
If you don’t I ain’t comin’ back

Shame shame shame hey shame on you
If you can’t dance too
I said shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can’t dance too

Shame, shame, shame, shame on you
If you can’t dance too
Shame, shame, shame, shame on you
If you can’t dance too
Shame, shame, shame, shame on you
If you can’t dance too
