Got to Give It Up
Groove Into Freedom: Unveiling the Liberation in David Sanborn's Melody
Lyrics
I used to go out to parties and stand around;
I used to go out to parties but would stand around.
'cause I was too nervous to really get down.
I was too nervous to really get down.
But my body yearned to be free.
Despite my inhibitions, my body desired freedom.
I got up on the floor, boy,
I overcame my hesitation and started dancing.
so somebody could choose me.
I got on the dance floor, hoping someone would choose me as their dance partner.
No more standin' upside the wall.
No more standing against the wall; I've gathered confidence.
I have got myself together, baby,
I've pulled myself together and now enjoying the party.
now I'm havin' a ball.
I'm having a great time.
Long as you're groovin' theres' always a chance
As long as you're grooving, there's a chance someone might want to make a romantic connection.
somebody watchin' might wanna make romance.
Be aware, someone observing the dance floor might be interested in romance.
Move your body, move baby, and dance all night,
Move your body, dance all night; embrace the groove and feel good.
To the groovin', I feel all right.
Dancing to the groove makes me feel alright.
Havin' a party, ooh, invite all your friends;
Have a party, invite friends, and enjoy.
But if you see me stop by, let me in.
If you see me, let me join the celebration.
Baby, just party all night long.
Keep the party going all night long.
Let me slip into your erotic zone.
Allow me to enter your sensual and intimate space.
(We heard that!)
(Acknowledgment of someone's comment)
Move it up,
Move your body, turn it around, and shake it down.
Turn it around, ooh, shake it down
Dance freely; you can bump into me whenever you want.
Ooh, you can bump me when you want to, babe.
This party is fantastic and full of good vibes.
This is such a groovy party, baby.
Dancing face to face, and everyone is excited about this amazing place.
Dancin' face to face and everybody's screamin'
The atmosphere is so lively and positive.
this is such a groovy place.
All the young ladies here are attractive.
All the young ladies are so fine.
Your body movements leave me with no doubt about your intentions.
You're movin' your body leaves me no doubt;
I understand what you're thinking; you want to seduce me.
know what you're thinkin', baby, you want to turn me out.
Do you think I'll let you do it?
Think I'm gonna let you do it?
Keep on dancin' oh, Keep on dancin' oh.
Continue dancing, keep enjoying the moment.
Ooh, look so good, yeah, keep on dancin'
You look so good; keep dancing.
Oh, now sugar, got to give it up.
Expressing joy and surrendering to the rhythm.
Keep on dancin', gotta give it up.
Keep dancing, don't stop the celebration.
Keep on dancin' . . . . .
Continue dancing.
