Lyrics
Why won't you tighten up, tighten up, lady?
Why won't you brighten up, brighten up, lady?
Why won't you move it up, move it up, lady?
Why won't you come on out, come on out, lady?
Why won't you come on up, come on up?
Come on and dance with me now-now
Tighten up, lady
Brighten up (Now-now), lady
Come on up
Come on, come on and dance, baby
Reggae music's sweet and I wanna dance
But you don't want to give me a chance
Woman, I want you to dance with me
No matter what the case may be (Woo-hoo!)
Tighten up (Now-now), lady
Brighten up, lady
Move it up, little woman
Come on and dance, baby
I'm in the mood
Got me in the groove tonight
Feeling so right
Tonight I'm really in the mood (Huh, na-na-na-na)
Reggae music's sweet and I wanna dance
But you don't want to give me a chance
Woman, I want you to dance with me
No matter what the case may be
Why won't you tighten up, tighten up, lady?
Why won't you brighten up, brighten up, lady? (Please)
Won't you move it up, move it up?
Come on and dance with me now-now-now, baby
Tighten up, lady
Brighten up (Now-now), lady
Move it up now, woman
Let's do this dance (Now-now-now-now-now)
Tighten up, lady
Brighten up (Baby), lady
Move it up now-now-now
Come on and dance, baby
Why won't you tighten up, tighten up?
