[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

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
