Lyrics[]

She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance

Some girls won't dance to the beat of the track
She won't walk away, but she won't look back
She looks good, but her boyfriend says she's a mess
She's a mess, she's a mess
Now the girl is stressed
She's a mess, she's a mess, she's a mess, she's a mess

Baby loves to dance in the dark
'Cause when he's looking, she falls apart
Baby loves to dance in the dark
Baby loves to dance in the dark
'Cause when he's looking, she falls apart
Baby loves to dance, loves to dance in the dark
In the dark

She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance

Run, run, her kiss is a vampire grin
The moon lights her way while she's howling at him
She looks good, but her boyfriend says she's a tramp
She's a tramp, she's a vamp, but she still does her dance
She's a tramp, she's a vamp, but she still kills the dance

Baby loves to dance in the dark
'Cause when he's looking, she falls apart
Baby loves to dance in the dark
Baby loves to dance in the dark
'Cause when he's looking, she falls apart
Baby loves to dance, loves to dance in the dark
In the dark

She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance (In the dark)
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance (In the dark)
She loves to, loves to dance
She loves to, loves to dance (In the dark)

Baby loves to dance in the dark
'Cause when he's looking, she falls apart
Baby loves to dance in the dark
Baby

Baby loves to dance in the dark
'Cause when he's looking, she falls apart
Baby loves to dance in the dark

Baby loves to dance in the dark
'Cause when he's looking, she falls apart
Baby loves to dance in the dark
Dance in the dark
