I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me
I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me
Sitting home on this lonely night
With nothin' much to do
I remember the good times
When they all were spent with you
How I long to see you smile
And to dance the night away

I wanna be with you... whoa

'Cause I feel like laughin'
...Let's laugh together
'Cause I feel like singin'
...Let's sing forever
'Cause I feel like dancin'
...Let's dance together
Find a hideaway... getaway for two

I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me
I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me
Hey I sure think the time is right
I've got so much in store

'Cause I just wanna be with you
And do the things we did before
Don't wanna seem like I'm begging you
But I think tonight's the night
Why can't I be with you

Can I slip away... faraway with you

I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me
I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me

I'll play the music

Do dah do dah yeah
Do dah do dah yeah
Do dah do dah yeah
Do dah do dah yeah

I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me
I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me
I'll play the music
Won't you come dance with me

Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
