[Intro: Interview with Justin Bieber]
Reporter: If you were gonna sing something to a girl to try and seduce her, what would you sing, and will you sing it for us?
Justin Bieber: Seduce her?!
Reporter: Yup!
Justin Bieber: Uhh, I don't know, um... I've never tried to seduce a girl yet...

[Verse 1]
Under your magic
Under your magic in the night
I twist and turn
But I can never put up a fight
You are like diamonds
You are like diamonds in the night
Ask me a question
You know I'll do anything, I'm hittin' the tides (dance)

[Pre-Chorus]
Just stay
Just stay awake
Just lay
Just lay for me

[Chorus]
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, but you want me to
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance but you like what I do
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, but you want me to
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, but I'll dance for you

[Verse 2]
Body electric
Lost in our hyper fantasy
I really feel it
I'm moving both my arms, yeah, it's happening
Lost all my feelings
I don't really care who's watchin' me
We're on a level
If they don't like what we do, well, they can just leave

[Pre-Chorus]
You stay
You stay awake
You lay
You lay for me

[Chorus]
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, but you want me to
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance but you like what I do
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, but you want me to
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, but I'll dance for you

[Outro]
Justin (Bieber), Justin (Bieber), Justin (Bieber)
Justin (Bieber), Justin (Bieber), Justin (Bieber)
Justin (Bieber), Justin (Bieber), Justin (Bieber)
Justin (Bieber), Justin (Bieber), just in place

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
