Night life, hot spotlight
I've gotta make them dance tonight
Night life, hot spotlight
I really wanna shine tonight
Night life, hot spotlight
I gotta steal a heart tonight
Night life, hot spotlight
I'll show them how to dance tonight
I know that the competition's heavy
I know that these guys are cool
But, I'll show this kid is more than ready
I sure got something to prove
Right now, I'm just another guy
I don't mean nothing to them
But, when they see me dance
When they see me dance
Night life, hot spotlight
I've gotta make them dance tonight
Night life, hot spotlight
I really wanna shine tonight
Night life (night life), hot spotlight (hot spotlight)
I gotta steal a heart tonight
Night life (spotlight), hot spotlight
I'll show them how to dance tonight
Right now the music's moving higher
I feel them stepping up upbeat (feel them stepping up upbeat)
These shoes will set the floor on fire
Everybody on your feet (everybody on your feet)
You thought that you'd seen the best
Well I can tell you, forget the rest
When you see me dance (when you see me dance)
When you see me dance (when you see me dance)
Night life (night life), hot spotlight
I'm gonna make them dance tonight
Night life (night life), hot spotlight
I'm really gonna shine tonight
Night life (night life), hot spotlight (hot spotlight)
I'm gonna steal a heart tonight
Night life (night life), hot spotlight
I'll show them how to dance tonight
Night life (night life), hot spot light
I've gotta make them dance tonight
Night life (night life), hot spot light
I really wanna shine tonight
Night life (night life), hot spotlight (hot spotlight)
I've gotta steal a heart tonight
Night life (night life), hot spotlight
I'll show them how to dance
