Kurtis Blow — Got To Dance

[Verse 1] You're feelin' kinda bad About the day you had You've got to find a way to make it right And if your body's got the juice And you're feelin' kinda loose You're stepping out and throwing down tonight There's a million different ways To make it through the days To get yourself a shot-of exercise But the only way I know To let my body go Is dancin' 'til the sun begins to rise I got to dance [Verse 2] You can go to the gym Work it out, take a swim Or play a little ball with the guys You can try a machine To keep your body mean But that's the kind of work that I despise You can run in the sun But it's never, ever fun 'Cause people are tired of routine So the only way for me To set my body free Is dancin' with the ladies on the scene I got to dance [Verse 3] You can go to the Fifty-Four If they let you in the door But it really doesn't matter anyway All you do is hit the spot Where the beat is runnin' hot And let the music take you far away The DJ is the dude To keep you in the mood To keep you dancin' 'til you have to drop You got to feel the beat To generate the heat To make you say you never wanna stop You got to dance [Verse 4] You can sit at home and chill Gettin' fat until you're ill And what you do is really up to you But if you like to party And I mean party hardy Then maybe I can tell you what to do Now I know a lot of ways To get me through the days But nighttime is the time I come alive I like to kick it all around Kick it up and kick it down 'Cause dancin' is the way that I survive I got to dance
