Structure + Lyrics 

Intro 

Verse 

are you going to live your life wondering 
standing in the back, looking around? 
are you going to waste your time thinking 
how you've grown up 
how you missed out? 
things are never going to be the way you want 
where's it going to get you acting serious? 
things are never going to be quite what you want 
even at twenty five you got to start sometime 

Chorus 

i'm on my feet 
i'm on the floor 
i'm good to go 
now all i need is just to hear a song i know 
i want to always feel like part of this was mine 
i want to fall in love tonight 

Verse 

are you going to live your life standing in the back looking around? 
are you going to waste your time? 
got to make a move or you'll miss out 
someone is going to ask you what it's all about 
stick around nostalgia won't let you down 
someone is going to ask you what it's all about 
what are you going to have to say for yourself? 

Chorus 

i'm on my feet 
i'm on the floor 
i'm good to go 
now all i need is just to hear a song i know 
i want to always feel like part of this was mine 
i want to fall in love tonight 

Bridge 

crimson and clover 
over and over 
(our house in the middle of the street, why did we ever meet? 
started my rock 'n roll fantasy 
don't don't, don't let's start, why did we ever part? 
kick start my rock 'n rollin' heart) 
  

Last Chorus 

i'm on my feet 
i'm on the floor 
i'm good to go 
so come on davey, sing me something that i know 
want to always feel like part of this was mine 
i want to fall in love tonight 
here, tonight
