Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know we're doin'

Everything that we want to

Meanwhile, are we losin'?

'Cause we won't let go

And, yeah, people

Let's start thinking what we're doin'

Don't let nothin' change your mind

Let's start heading homeward-bound

Get off the ground

[Refrain]

Stop losin', yeah, losin'

Keep risin' to the top (Give it all you got)

You gotta wake up your body

Wake up your body

Wake up your body

And move it around

Wake up your body

Wake up your body

Wake up your body

And move it around

[Verse 2]

Keep on believin'

All the dreams inside of you

And don't stop achievin', yeah

Let some love shine on through

And don't fight the feelin'

Just keep on dealin'

Everybody, keep on movin'

[Chorus]

'Cause I know we can get it over, so baby (Give it all you got)

Let's keep risin' to the top (Give it all you got)

And we won't let nobody stop us (Give it all you got)

We'll just keep trying, yeah (Give it all you got)

Ooh, baby (Give it all you got)

Ooh, I want you to (Give it all you got)

[Refrain]

(Give it all you got) You gotta wake up your body

Wake up your body

Wake up your body

And move it around

Wake up your body

Wake up your body

Wake up your body

And move it around

[Verse 3]

Big time illusions

Create a lot of confusion

But the time has finally come

Let's get it done

Keep movin', yeah, movin'

Let's keep risin' to the top

And don't let nobody stop us

Just keep tryin', yeah

[Chorus]

Keep on givin' to each other (Give it all you got)

Spread some love a little farther (Give it all you got)

Keep on givin' all you got (Give it all you got)

Said we're risin' to the top

We won't let nobody stop

What we're doin', yeah (Give it all you got)

Now keep on movin' your body (Give it all you got)

The feeling's gettin' stronger, yeah (Give it all you got)

[Outro]

What we're doin' (Give it all you got)

Just keep on movin' your body (Give it all you got)

The feeling's gettin' stronger, yeah (Give it all you got)
