[Intro]
Don't stop the music...
Yeah, don't stop the music right now
I don't want to walk away from...oh yeah, don't stop
Keep the band playing now, oh, ah yeah

[Verse 1]
On the street, in the park, on the floor, anywhere you are
Something fresh, something wild, take it up like a shooting star
'Cause I never found anyone like you
And you are the beat in my heart
(Come on take me higher)

[Chorus]
Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
Now that we're falling in love

[Verse 2]
Take a trip to the stars, make a wish, rocket to the moon
There you are between Venus and Mars, now you're in the groove
'Cause I see the passion that's in your eyes
And you lift me up to the sky
(Come on take me higher)

[Chorus]
Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
When the feeling's good, when the feeling's right

Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
Now that we're falling in love

[Bridge]
Oh, don't stop the music, baby
Let the rhythm drive you crazy
Don't fight the feeling, baby
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
I don't wanna stop the music right now

Keep it up, got to keep it up, you got to keep it up
Keep it up, got to keep it up, you got to keep it up
Don't stop it now

[Chorus]
Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
When the feeling's good, when the feeling's right
Don't stop the music
We can make beautiful music
Don't fight the feeling
When the feeling's good, when the feeling's right, yeah

[Outro]
Keep it up, got to keep it up, you got to keep it up
Keep it up, got to keep it up, you got to keep it up
I don't wanna stop, I don't wanna stop now, oh
Keep it up, got to keep it up, you got to keep it up
Keep it up, got to keep it up, you got to keep it up
Gotta keep it up, gotta keep it up, yeah
Keep it up, got to keep it up, you got to keep it up
Keep it up, got to keep it up, you got to keep it up
Gotta keep it up, gotta keep it up, yeah
Feel it in your heart now, feel it in your body now
Feel it in your heart now, don't stop the music
