[Verse 1]
Well, it's shoulder to shoulder up in here tonight
Got bottles poppin', floor is rockin', packed in tight
It's hot, and it's hazy
And it's loud, and it's crazy
Girl, when you take my hand
You don't even understand

[Chorus]
Everything that's going on is just background music
And everything except you girl just fades away
It's like me and you, are the only two
Dancin' 'round this crowded room
So, tell me how you do it (Tell me how do you do it)
Turning everything into background music
Tell me how you do it (Tell me how do you do it)
Turning everything
Into background music (Background music)
(Hey, hey, hey!)

[Verse 2]
Girl, it don't really matter where we are
Your face outshines the moon, the sun, and stars (Hey, hey)
Baby, your eyes are like diamonds
And your smile's so blindin'
I could be front row at the Stones
And I wouldn't even know they're on

[Chorus]
Everything that's going on is just background music
And everything except you girl just fades away
It's like me and you, are the only two
Dancin' 'round this crowded room
So, tell me how you do it (Tell me how do you do it)
Turning everything into background music
Tell me how you do it (Tell me how do you do it)
Turning everything into background music
Tell me how you do it (Tell me how you do it)
Turning everything into background music
Tell me how you do it (Tell me how you do it)
Turning everything into background music

[Bridge]
Oh baby girl, you know you got all my attention
Ain't even gotta say a word cause baby I miss it
Everything that's goin' on is just background music (Background music)
Everything except you girl just fades away (Fades away)
It's like me and you are the only two
Dancin' 'round this crowded room, so

[Chorus]
Everything that's going on is just background music
And everything except you girl just fades away
It's like me and you, are the only two
Dancin' 'round this crowded room
So, tell me how you do it (Tell me how do you do it)
Turning everything into background music
Tell me how you do it (Tell me how do you do it)
Turning everything into background music
Tell me how you do it (Tell me how you do it)
Turning everything into background music
Tell me how you do it
Turning everything into background music
