Another conversation with no destination
Another battle, never won
And each side is a loser
So who cares if I have grown?
And I’m learning, so I’m leaving
And even thought I’m grieving
I’m trying to …
[Hook]
Don’t stop, pop that, don’t stop
Pop that pop that pop that
[Rick Ross]
Drop that n*gger bitch
[Drake]
I’m young Papi, Champagne
They know the face, and they know the name
Drop that n*gger bitch
What you …
Yeah yeah yeah
Um um
[Verse 1]
You are my starlight
Your shine can brighten up the darkness night
I’ll follow you until the daylight
‘Cause when you’re close
I know it’s alright, alright, alright, alright
[Pre-Chorus]
See baby, …
When your soul finds the soul it was waiting for
When someone walks into your heart through an open door
When your hand finds the hand it was meant to hold
Don’t let …
I need your love
I need your time
When everything’s wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love
[Beat break]
I need your …
Oh don’t you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me.1
I said your holding back,2
She said shut up and dance with me!3
This woman is my destiny4
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me5
We were victims of the night,6
The chemical, physical, kryptonite7
Helpless to the bass and the fading light8
Oh we were born to get together,
Born to get together.9
She took my arm,
I don’t know how it happened.
We took the floor10 and she said
Oh don’t you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me.
I said your 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 dress11 and some beat up sneaks,12
My disco tec Juliet teenage dream.
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me.
I knew we were born to be together,13
Born 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 your 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.14
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 your 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 your 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
Oh oh oh shut up dance with me15
This song is sung in the context of two people enjoying their time together.
“Holding back” means not being free with someone.
“Shut up and dance with me” is a lyric repeated often throughout this song. It is an invitation to dance and have a good time, an invitation not to be too serious. This is a fun song about enjoying one’s self.
Here the male tries to get serious about the relationship.
The female retaliates by insisting that, at least for now, having a good time is more important than seriousness.
“Victims of the night” refers to people that party too hard and end up making mistakes.
The “chemical, physical, kryptonite” all refer to the feelings that a fun night generates.
Loud bass and fading lights are common aspects of a club or house party.
“Get together” refers to a not-so-serious, fun sexual encounter, a “hook-up.”
“Took the floor” means they danced in front of other people.
Backless dresses are considered sexually provocative party dresses.
“Sneaks” is an abbreviation for sneakers.
The party environment stirred something inside the male’s heart, drawing him to this girl.
“I think I see the future” means that he can envision himself being together with this girl.
This song is about simply having a good time more than it is about romance, relationship, or romantic feelings.
