I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

[Verse]

Stop making the eyes at me,

I'll stop making the eyes at you.

What it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to

And your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night)

Oh, but you're an explosion but you're dynamite

Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sound

Lighting the fuse might result in a bang with a bang-go

[Chorus:]

I said I bet that you look good on the dance floor

I don't know if you're looking for romance or what

Don't know what you're looking for

Well I bet that you look good on the dance floor

Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984

from 1984!

[Verse]

I wish you'd stop ignoring me because you're sending me to despair,

Without a sound yeh you're calling me and I don't think it's very fair

That your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night)

Oh, but you're an explosion (You're dynamite)

Your name isn't Rio but I don't care for sound

Lighting the fuse might result in a bang with a bang-go

[Chorus]

Oh, there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets

Are just banging tunes and DJ sets and...

Dirty dance floors, and dreams of naughtiness!

Well,

[Chorus]
