Lyrics
Smurfette: Anybody blue? Anybody needed someone, too? Anyone feeling cold? No one there you can hold? Don't wait to get old and gray, I'm gonna chase all the clouds away, 'Cause there is nothing I would rather do.

Forget about the blues tonight, sweet thing. Forget about the rules tonight, sweet thing. I want to dance with you until the sun comes creeping through. I want to dance with you; I won't stop pleasing you.

Honey, for a while, give a girl a chance to show some style. If you got no love to spare, Tell me lies, I don't care. You'd better believe that I, I know some moves that we got to try, 'Cause there is nothing I would rather do.

Forget about the blues tonight, sweet thing. Forget about the rules tonight, sweet thing. I want to dance with you until the sun comes creeping through. I want to dance with you; I won't stop pleasing you.

Empath: Honey, I want to let you know, I won't take a back seat.<BR> Ain't willing to let you go.<BR> I won't take a back seat.<BR> Don't want to hear what you want,<BR> It's got to be all my way,<BR> And I'm making sure you stay to see.<BR> I'm really a selfish man,<BR> I got to get right to it.<BR> Lover, tonight, I'm thinking of me.

Lover, I won't take a back seat tonight...ooooh.<BR> Lover, getting on my two feet tongith...ooooh.<BR> Got some dancing to do, got some dancing to do.<BR> Got some dancing to do, got some dancing to do.

Can't let anyone get to you.<BR> I won't take a back seat.<BR> Let me show you what I can do.<BR> I won't take a back seat.<BR> Ain't funny to fool with me.<BR> I'll be a bad loser.<BR> You're getting me mad using me.<BR> Try putting a spell on me,<BR> 'Cause I've got a strange feeling.<BR> You better get down to healing me.

Lover, I won't take a back seat tonight...ooooh.<BR> Lover, getting on my two feet tongith...ooooh.<BR> Got some dancing to do, got some dancing to do.<BR> Got some dancing to do, got some dancing to do.
