Hey!
(Lead 2)
Come on now!

⸻

[Verse 1 – rapid trade]
(Lead 1) I was down on the corner with a heart on fire
(Lead 2) You came through dancing, took me higher
(Lead 1) Said don’t wait, don’t hesitate
(Lead 2) Love don’t come to the ones who’re late

(Lead 1) I said hold on, let me catch my breath
(Lead 2) You said boy you ain’t seen nothing yet

⸻

[Chorus – duet, explosive]
Run it back to me, don’t slow down
Let the music take you all around
When the horns hit sharp and the beat goes fast
We’re gonna make this moment last

Run it back to me, don’t lose time
Keep it moving to the driving line
When the groove gets hot and the lights burn bright
We’re gonna carry it through the night

⸻

[Verse 2 – even faster trade]
(Lead 1) Every time that the drum hits hard
(Lead 2) Feels like lightning in my heart
(Lead 1) Every move got me stepping quick
(Lead 2) You got me caught in the rhythm trick

(Lead 1) Ain’t no stopping, ain’t no break
(Lead 2) Give it all for the music’s sake
