[Intro: Chris Lowe]
"The secrets of sexual attraction"
[Refrain: Loleatta Holloway]
Get down (Get down)
Get down (Get down)
Get down (Get down)
Get down (Get down)
[Verse 1: Chris Lowe]
The music's running through me, I'm rushing through the crowd
The sweat is pouring off me and the beat is dead loud
I want someone to love me and I know I want it now
These feelings that I'm feeling must be satisfied somehow
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Lowe]
I want it, I want it, you know I really want it
I want it, I want it, you know I really want it
I want it, I want it, you know I really want it
[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Loleatta Holloway]
We all feel better in the dark
We all feel better in the dark
(Get down, get down, get down, get down)
(Get down, get down, get down, get down)
[Verse 2: Chris Lowe]
My body surges with energy, shivers down my spine
I look deep in your eyes and I know that you'll be mine
[Bridge: Original Concept]

Pump that beat up, pump that beat
Pump that beat up, pump that beat
Pump that beat up, pump that beat
[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Loleatta Holloway]
We all feel better in the dark
(Get down, get down, get down, get down)
(Get down, get down, get down, get down)
We all feel better in the dark
(Get down, get down, get down, get down)
(Get down, get down, get down, get down)
