Lyrics
I see you shaking in your boots
I perceive that you are nervous or anxious.
Why won't you put your petty fears aside
Why don't you set aside your minor fears?
It's time to get your dancing shoes
It's time to put on your dancing shoes.
Well I'm about to show you why
I am about to demonstrate the reason.
I've got soul
I possess a strong sense of individuality or character.
And I'm not afraid to use it
I am not hesitant to express or demonstrate it.
You want more
If you desire more, I can provide it.
I can show you how we do it
I am capable of showing you how it's done.
Don't just stand, just stand still
Do not merely stay in one place without action.
Don't just stand, just stand still
Repetition for emphasis: Do not stay still, take action.
Don't just stand, just stand still
Emphasizing the need for movement and action.
Don't just stand, 'cause I, I got, I got soul
Repetition and emphasis on possessing a strong character or spirit.
I've got a rhythm you can't lose
I have a rhythmic quality that you cannot fail to notice.
If you let your body lead the way
If you allow your body to guide you, you won't lose.
It's just a syncopated groove
Describing a rhythm that involves a syncopated groove.
It might be more than you can take
It might be more intense than you can handle.
I've got soul
Reiteration of possessing a strong individuality or spirit.
And I'm not afraid to use it
Reiterating the lack of hesitation in expressing oneself.
You want more
If you desire more, I am capable of providing it.
I can show you how we do it
Asserting the ability to demonstrate how things are done.
Don't just stand, just stand still
Repeat emphasis: Do not remain motionless, take action.
Don't just stand, just stand still
Repetition for emphasis on the importance of movement.
Don't just stand, just stand still
Emphasizing the need for action and not standing still.
Don't just stand, 'cause I, I got, I got soul
Reiteration of having a strong character or spirit.
I've got soul
Reaffirming the possession of a strong sense of self.
And I'm not afraid to use it
Emphasizing the lack of fear in expressing oneself.
You want more
If you desire more, I am ready to demonstrate.
Let me show you how we do it
Let me show you how things are done.
'Cause you know that I got soul
Reaffirming the possession of a strong character or spirit.
