I wanna dance, oh...
Ja sam za ples, oh yeah
U nekom bistrou tu kod nas na moru
Ja pila sam sok
A tamo za barom, u džuboksu starom
Su svirali rok
Odjednom se stvori, ja čujem govori:
"This is okay" ("This is okay")
Pogled mi sretne, i kaže mi hej
Čujem nešto kao: "Do you wanna dance?"
Mislim da me pita da li sam za ples
(I wanna dance) Oh...
Ja sam za ples, oh yeah
Čujem nešto kao: "Do you wanna dance?"
Mislim da me pita da li sam za ples
(I wanna dance) Oh...
Ja sam za ples, oh yeah
I wanna dance, oh...
Ja sam za ples, oh yeah
U nekom bistrou tu kod nas na moru
Ja pila sam sok
A dolje na plaži, su momci na gaži
Svirali rok
I opet se stvori, ja čujem govori:
"This is okay" ("This is okay")
Pogled mi sretne, i kaže mi hej
Čujem nešto kao: "Do you wanna dance?"
Mislim da me pita da li sam za ples
(I wanna dance) Oh...
Ja sam za ples, oh yeah
Čujem nešto kao: "Do you wanna dance?"
Mislim da me pita da li sam za ples
(I wanna dance) Oh...
Ja sam za ples, oh yeah
I wanna dance, oh...
Ja sam za ples, oh yeah
I wanna dance
I wanna dance, oh...
I'm up for a dance, oh yeah
In a café right here by the sea
I was drinking some juice
And over there by the bar, on an old jukebox
Some rock was playing
From out of nowhere he appears, I hear him say:
"This is okay" ("This is okay")
Our eyes meet, and he says hey
I hear something like: "Do you wanna dance?"
I think he's asking me if I want to dance
(I wanna dance) Oh...
I'm up for a dance, oh yeah
I hear something like: "Do you wanna dance?"
I think he's asking me if I want to dance
(I wanna dance) Oh...
I'm up for a dance, oh yeah
I wanna dance, oh...
I'm up for a dance, oh yeah
In a café right here by the sea
I was drinking some juice
Down there at the beach, some guys in a band
Were playing some rock
And he appears again, I can hear him say:
"This is okay" ("This is okay")
Our eyes meet, and he says hey
I hear something like: "Do you wanna dance?"
I think he's asking me if I want to dance
(I wanna dance) Oh...
I'm up for a dance, oh yeah
I hear something like: "Do you wanna dance?"
I think he's asking me if I want to dance
(I wanna dance) Oh...
I'm up for a dance, oh yeah
I wanna dance, oh...
I'm up for a dance, oh yeah
I wanna dance
