What you do
Raise the roof
Everybody wants you to
And you do it with
You do it with
And you do it with
You do it with love
When you do
That thing you do
The love comes through
You raise the roof
Put the music on
Put the music on
Put the music on
They all wanna dance
You can do anything
If you dare
Don't mean a thing
Unless you care
And you do it with
And you do it with
And you do it with
You do it with love
All those years I wasted
Sitting on my own
Think what I could have tasted
If I'd only known
Why did I wait?
Why did I wait?
Don't tell me it's too late
Why did I wait?
Don't tell me it's too late
So open up
Before you start
An open hand
An open heart
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on home
Why did I wait?
Why did I wait?
Don't tell me it's too late
Don't tell me it's too late
