Verse 1
C            C7/E      F    Bb    
  I take you out all over town, 
C          C7/E           F     Bb
  But you always start sitting down,
           C    C7/E           F        Bb
You never move! Baby, what's wrong with me?
              C    C7/E            F           Bb
When we go dancing,     you just stare like a tree!


Chorus
       C           Bb             F        Bb
Baby, come on and dance, you're holding me back,
         C             Bb          F       Bb
I gotta get out this feeling, be-fore I go mad,
           C      Bb               F         Bb
You gotta let me,    the music's getting me now,
           C            C7           F        F
You gotta come on and dance, stop hanging a-round!

   I don't care if you twist or jive,
C          C7/E              F       Bb
   Just as long as you're looking a-live,
                 C   C7/E          F       Bb
You'll make me glad, baby, you'll make me rise,

I wanna see that twinkle in your eyes!

Baby, come on and dance, you're holding me back,

I gotta get out this feeling, be-fore I go mad,
           C      Bb               F         Bb
You gotta let me,    the music's getting me now,

You gotta come on and dance, stop hanging a-round!
