Got to Give It Up
Groove into Freedom: Unleashing the Dance of Liberation
Lyrics
I used to go out to parties and stand around;
I used to attend parties but would stay reserved and hesitant.
'cause I was too nervous to really get down.
My nervousness prevented me from fully engaging in the party atmosphere.
But my body yearned to be free.
Despite my reservations, my body longed to express itself freely.
I got up on the floor, boy,
I decided to overcome my hesitation and joined the dance floor.
so somebody could choose me.
I wanted someone to notice and choose me as a dance partner.
No more standin' upside the wall.
No longer sticking to the wall, I've gathered confidence and composure.
I have got myself together, baby,
I've organized myself and now enjoying the party to the fullest.
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 dancing, there's always a chance for romance.
somebody watchin' might wanna make romance.
Someone observing the dance floor might be interested in making a romantic connection.
Move your body, move baby, and dance all night,
Encouraging everyone to move their bodies and dance throughout the night.
To the groovin', I feel all right.
Feeling good and enjoying the groove of the music.
Havin' a party, ooh, invite all your friends;
Suggesting to have a lively party and inviting friends.
But if you see me stop by, let me in.
If you see me wanting to join, please let me in.
Baby, just party all night long.
Encouraging everyone to keep the party going all night long.
Let me slip into your erotic zone.
Expressing a desire to enter an intimate or sensual space.
(We heard that!)
Move it up,
Encouraging movement and a change of direction on the dance floor.
Turn it around, ooh, shake it down
Expressing excitement and suggesting to shake things down energetically.
Ooh, you can bump me when you want to, babe.
Open to physical interaction and playfulness.
This is such a groovy party, baby.
Describing the party as incredibly enjoyable and cool.
Dancin' face to face and everybody's screamin'
People dancing closely, and the atmosphere is lively and exciting.
this is such a groovy place.
The place is fantastic, and everyone is enthusiastic.
All the young ladies are so fine.
Complimenting the attractiveness of the young ladies at the party.
You're movin' your body leaves me no doubt;
Your body movements leave me with no doubt about your intentions.
know what you're thinkin', baby, you want to turn me out.
Understanding your thoughts, and it seems you want to seduce me.
Think I'm gonna let you do it?
Questioning whether I should let you seduce me.
Keep on dancin' oh, Keep on dancin' oh.
Encouraging continuous dancing and enjoyment.
Ooh, look so good, yeah, keep on dancin'
Expressing admiration for someone's appearance and encouraging them to keep dancing.
Oh, now sugar, got to give it up.
Acknowledging the enjoyment of the party and suggesting letting loose.
Keep on dancin', gotta give it up.
Emphasizing the need to continue dancing and letting go of inhibitions.
Keep on dancin' . . . . .
Repeating the encouragement to keep dancing.
