Eurovision Song Contest · Eurovision Song Contest 2002 [2002]
All right, girls
(Are you shaking?)
Surrounded by sharp looking eyes, dancing in a fever
Forgetting all the worlds of advice, moving in and closer
What a life we have, what a life we live
And it's smiling right at us
What a life we share, gonna get it there
So never let it go, never stop 'til you know
We'll be reaching for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shaking, shaking
So never let it go, never stop 'til you know
We'll be reaching for the top tonight
And when the night is over, I'll take you in my arms now
Blinded by the scent of your love, sailing on this feeling
And my mind is high up above, I don't know if I'm dreaming
What a life we have, what a life we live
And it's smiling right at us
What a life we share, gonna get it there
So never let it go, never stop 'til you know
We'll be reaching for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shaking, shaking
(We'll be shaking)
So never let it go, never stop 'til you know
We'll be reaching for the top tonight
(We will reach the top)
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shaking, shaking
What a life we have, what a life we live
What a life we share, gonna get it there
(I take you in my arms)
So never let it go, never stop 'til you know
We'll be reaching for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shaking, shaking
(Shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking)
So never let it go, never stop 'til you know
We'll be reaching for the top tonight
And when the night is over, I'll take you in my arms now
So never let it go, never stop 'til you know
We'll be reaching for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We'll be shaking, shaking
(Shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking)
So never let it go, never stop
