Lyrics

I don’t know why I keep mov in’ my bod y;

I don’t know if this is wrong or if it’s right.

I don’t know if it’s the beat, but some thing’s tak ing o ver me,

and (F)I just know I feel so good to night.

I don’t know what your name is, but I like it.

I been think in’ ’bout some things I wan na try.

I don’t know what you came to do, but I want to do it with you.

And (F)I just know I feel so good to night.

Oh, (F)if we keep on (Am)danc ing, take the (F)rhy thm to new heights,

(F)feel the heat of (C)pas sion, ba by, (Bb)light up

the night,

(E)(we can start a fi re.) Come on let it burn, ba by.

(We can start a fi re.) Let the ta bles turn, ba by.

(We can start a (Am)fi

re.) And (F)I just know I feel so good, (G)don’t you know I feel so good, (F)I just know I feel so good

to night.

I don’t care (CN.C.)if this turns in to a ri ot; let’s get reck less, tear this place down to the floor.

Turn the mu sic way up loud; can’t no bod y stop us now.

Oh, (F)I just know I feel so good to night.

Oh,

(F)I just know I feel so good to night.

(We can start a fi (F)don’t you know, (E)don’t you know,

to night.
