Lyrics

I want you, I need you, just say you want my love too
I want you, I need you, just say you do

Think of the wonderful things we could see
If you said that it would last forever
I know feeling is so hard to believe
So just wait and see, our love is the key

Under the stars we're dancing in the moonlight
You captured my heart and set the world alight
Now you're a part of every plan that I make
So tell you'll always stay (hey eh eh)

Don't stop the music, listen to the beat
And don't stop the rhythm, it's a part of me
Don't stop, keep movin', I can't get enough
And stop the feelin', never have too much

Yeah eh, yeah eh eh, yeah eh, yeah eh eh

Under the stars we're dancing in the moonlight
You captured my heart and set the world alight
Now you're a part of every plan that I make
So tell you'll always stay (hey eh eh)

Don't stop the music, listen to the beat
And don't stop the rhythm, it's a part of me
Don't stop, keep movin', I can't get enough
And stop the feelin', never have too much

Yeah eh, yeah eh eh, yeah eh, yeah eh eh

Don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop
