Shut Up and Dance Songtext
von Commodores

Shut up and dance, shut up and dance
Come on and dance, dance

Listen up
Walking through the city, nothing on my mind
Well I went in this place, just to pass the time
And then I saw her, that dress and sexy ways
She pulled me in, I was in a daze

As I walked over, started to make my plan
I was gonna show that girl a Superman
But I didn′t make it
I could tell she wasn't about to take it

She stared me down, movin′ around
And then she said, "Shut up and dance"
Yeah, that's what she said to me
"You gotta move your feet or take a seat, boy, I came to dance"

(Shut up and dance, let's dance)
I′m not here for no romance (shut up and dance)
What you see now is all you′ll see
It's all you′re gonna get from me (shut up and dance)


I thought about it for a minute, what could I possibly say?
Thought about leaving, but I knew I had to stay
I've got the right to approach a beautiful girl
But when that girl won′t talk to you, what's happening in this world?

Oh, as I walked over, started to make my plans
I was gonna show that girl a Superman
But I didn′t make it
I could tell she wasn't about to take it

She stared me down, movin' around
And then she said, "Shut up and dance"
Yeah, that′s what she said to me
"You gotta move your feet or take a seat, boy, I came to dance"

Shut up and dance, (let′s dance)
I'm not here for no romance (shut up and dance)
What you see now is all you′ll see
It's all you′re gonna get from me (shut up and dance)

Yeah, that's what she said to me
"You gotta move your feet or take a seat, boy, I came to dance"

Shut up and dance, (let′s dance)
I'm not here for no romance (shut up and dance)
What you see now is all you'll see
It′s all you′re gonna get from me (shut up and dance)


(Come on and dance, dance)
(Come on and dance, dance)

That girl turned around and would you believe, she smiled
Another first sight, even though it took a while
Today is a new day, you gotta use psychology
But I can't get out of my mind the first thing she said to me

Shut up and dance
Wow, that′s what she said to me
She said, "Move your feet, take a seat
Boy, i came to dance"

Shut up and dance, (let's dance)
I′m not here for no romance (shut up and dance)
What you see now is all you'll see
It′s all you're gonna get from me (shut up and dance)

(Come on and dance)
(Come on and dance, dance)
(Shut up and dance)
(Come on and dance)
(Come on and dance, dance)

(Let's dance) la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
(Let′s dance) la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la

(Shut up and dance)
(Shut up and dance)
(Come on and dance)
(Shut up and dance)
