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 done alright up to now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls,
My loneliness calls

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Somebody who loves me
To hold me in his arms

I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls,
My lonely heart calls

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat...
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves... me
