  			Intro: A 

                    A 
I used to go out to parties 

And stand around 

'Cause I was too nervous 

To really get down 
       D   E           A            B 
And my body yearned to be free 
                   D                E 
So I got up on the floor and found 
                  A                 B 
Somebody to choose me 
        A 
No more standin' along the side walls 

Now I've got myself together, baby 

And I'm havin' a ball 
            D                       E 
Long as you prove it 
                 A                  B 
There's always a chance 
         D                          E 
Somebody watches 
                 A                  B 
I'm gonna make romance 
          A 
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night 

Get down and prove it, feel all right... 

        A 
Keep on dancin' 

Got to give it up
