Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Holding on to the rhythm
I'm standing in my leather and lace
People move to the left, and
Move to the right, and
The whole place starts to shake
[Verse 2]
Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire
[Verse 3]
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away
[Verse 4]
Letting go of my inhibitions
Is harder to do than say
But I surrender to the beat
I start shuffling my feet
When I hear that music play
[Verse 5]
I trip the light fantastic
I touch the sky and it feels like magic
[Verse 6]
I started dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger
And I just got swept away
[Verse 7]
Give me a dance, dance
Dancing with a stranger
And it takes my breath away
[Verse 8]
I ain't looking for mister right
It doesn't matter to me
There's something in the air electric I like
Igniting endlessly
I started to dance
[Verse 9]
Without a net on a real high wire
I'm stepping out with my heels on fire
[Verse 10]
I started dancing, yeah, dancing with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
Dancing with a stranger, oh
And I just got swept away
[Verse 11]
And I started dancing a with a stranger
Moving to the break of day
I started dancing dancing with a stranger
And it takes my breath away
