(Come on)
I wanna dance in the dark
(Come on)
We're gonna light up the night
(Come on)
I wanna dance in the dark
(Come on)
We're gonna light up the night
Under dusk, dance in the middle of the night
Can see the night skies in the mirror of your eyes
If you don't dance, make sure you got the rhythm
Make sure that your heart beats, beats with the rhythm
I wanna rock out in the middle of the night
Right under the moon, bodies glowing in the night
Nothing in between our skins but the rhythm
Make sure that your heart beats, beats with the rhythm
The nightime is the right time
I wanna dance in the dark
And never stop
We're gonna light up the night
Like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound
Don't be alarmed
Oh, oh, oh, dancing in the dark
I wanna dance in the dark
And never stop
We're gonna light up the night
Like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound
Don't be alarmed
Oh, oh, oh, dancing in the dark
Underdogs dance in the middle of the night
Out here with the stars like the creatures of the night
If you don't dance, make sure you got the rhythm
Make sure that your heart beats, beats with the rhythm
I wanna dance dance in the middle of the night
Can see the night skies in the mirror of your eyes
If you don't dance, make sure you got the rhythm
Make sure that your heart beats, beats with the rhythm
The nightime is the right time
I wanna dance in the dark
And never stop
We're gonna light up the night
Like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound
Don't be alarmed
Oh, oh, oh, dancing in the dark
I wanna dance in the dark
And never stop
We're gonna light up the night
Like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound
Don't be alarmed
Oh, oh, oh, dancing in the dark
I wanna dance in the dark
(Come on)
We're gonna light up the night
(Come on)
I wanna dance in the dark
(Come on)
We're gonna light up the night
I wanna dance in the dark
And never stop
We're gonna light up the night
Like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound
Don't be alarmed
Oh, oh, oh, dancing in the dark
I wanna dance in the dark
And never stop
We're gonna light up the night
Like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound
Don't be alarmed
Oh, oh, oh, dancing in the dark
