Dance The Night Away
Van Halen · Vol. 1-Best Of Van Halen
Moving with a style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes it's love in the third degree
Ooh, baby, baby
Won't you turn your head my way
Ooh, baby, baby
Now come on take a chance, you're old enough to
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
A live wire, barely a beginner
But just watch that lady go
She's on fire 'cause dancing gets her higher
Than anything else she knows
Ooh, baby, baby
Won't you turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby
Well don't skip romance 'cause your old enough to
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Ohh, oh-yeah
Dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance the night away...
