Only Wanna Dance with You Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kesha]
Couldn't help it when we met
I was playin' hard to get
But one look and that was it
Now it doesn't matter
Drinkin' wine on the cement
Outside 7-Eleven
Fell in love on accident
Now it doesn't matter

[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
You got to me
You saw through me
You're in for it now

[Chorus: Kesha]
You're all I wanna do
I only wanna dance with you
Whatever I got to do
I want you to myself tonight, alright
I only wanna dance with you

[Verse 2: Kesha]
Used to bein' on the road
Crazy nights and playin' shows
Used to dancin' all alone
Now it doesn't matter
Since you got a hold of me
I'm talkin' 'bout you in my sleep
What the hell'd you do to me?
Oh, it doesn't matter

[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
I fell for you (Yeah)
Boy, you're so screwed (So)
You're in for it now

[Chorus: Kesha]
You're all I wanna do
I only wanna dance with you
Whatever I got to do
I want you to myself tonight, alright
I only wanna dance with you

[Post-Chorus: Kesha, Julian Casablancas & Both]
Just wanna dance with you
Just wanna dance with you
Just wanna dance with you
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Just wanna dance with you
Just wanna dance with you
Just wanna dance with you
Oh, oh, oh-oh

[Chorus: Kesha]
(Oh) You're all I wanna do
I only wanna dance with you (Only wanna dance with you)
Whatever I got to do
I want you to myself tonight (Tonight), alright (Alright)
I only wanna dance with you

[Post-Chorus: Kesha & Julian Casablancas]
Just wanna dance with you
Just wanna dance with you (Only wanna dance with you)
Just wanna dance with you
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Just wanna dance with you
Just wanna dance with you
Just wanna dance with you
I only wanna dance with you
