Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said, "Shut up and dance with me! "
This woman is my destiny
She said, oh, oh, oh
"Shut up and dance with me"

We were victims of the night
The chemical, physical, kryptonite
Helpless to the bass and faded light
Oh, we were bound to get together
Bound to get together

She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said
Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said "shut up and dance with me! "
This woman is my destiny
She said, oh, oh, oh
"Shut up and dance with me"

A backless dress and some beat up sneaks
My disco tec juliet teenage dream
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me
I knew we were bound to be together
Bound to be together
She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said

Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said "shut up and dance with me! "
This woman is my destiny
She said, oh, oh, oh
"Shut up and dance with me"

Deep in her eyes
I think I see the future
I realize this is my last chance
She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said

Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said "shut up and dance with me! "
This woman is my destiny
She said, oh, oh, oh
"Shut up and dance! "
Oh, don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me

I said you're holding back
She "said shut up and dance with me! "
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
"Shut up and dance with me"
Oh, oh, oh, shut up dance with me
