I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The clock strikes upon the hour, and the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away
I've been alright up to now, it's the light of day that shows me how
When the night falls, my lonely heart calls
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
[Verse 2]
I've been in love and lost my senses, spinning through the town
Sooner or later the fever ends, and I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance on a lovе that burns hot enough to last
When the night falls, my lonеly heart calls
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
[Outro]
Don't you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance? (Oh, I wanna dance with somebody)
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance? (I wanna feel the heat from somebody)
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance? (Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody)
Don't you wanna dance?
With somebody who loves me
The clock strikes upon the hour, and the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away
I've been alright up to now, it's the light of day that shows me how
When the night falls, my lonely heart calls
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
[Verse 2]
I've been in love and lost my senses, spinning through the town
Sooner or later the fever ends, and I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance on a lovе that burns hot enough to last
When the night falls, my lonеly heart calls
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
[Outro]
Don't you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance? (Oh, I wanna dance with somebody)
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance? (I wanna feel the heat from somebody)
Don't you wanna dance?
Don't you wanna dance? Do you wanna dance? (Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody)
Don't you wanna dance?
With somebody who loves me

The English singer-songwriter brings a guitar and her powerful vocals to the scene, in order to tribute the hit.
