[Intro]
Oh... come on, baby, let's get it on
Let's get it on right now, ooh-wee

[Chorus]
Sexy lady, come alive
Let your body move, get in the groove
Sexy lady, come alive
Let your body move, get in the groove

[Verse 1]
I'm lookin' for a dancer
An incredible romancer
A sexy, indiscreet child
To move and groove and drive me wild
Oh, what brings me out tonight, baby
Is more than mere socializing
I think the time is right, baby
To broaden my horizon with you tonight

[Chorus]
Sexy lady, come alive
Let your body move, get in the groove
Sexy lady, come alive
Let your body move, get in the groove

[Verse 2]
My temperature is risin'
You've got me fantasizin'
Can't control my desire
To set your heart on fire
Oh, I wish for a dance, baby
The moment your eyes met mine, girl
The prospect of romance, baby
Was how I'm gonna spend
My time with you tonight

[Chorus]
Sexy lady, come alive
Let your body move, get in the groove
(Sexy lady, come alive) come alive
Get in the groove

[Bridge]
Just put your little hand in mine
Here come those party lights
It's party time, come on let's groove
All night, baby, oh yeah...
Sexy girl, oh... I love the way you move

[Outro]
(Sexy lady, come alive) come alive
Get in the groove
(Sexy lady, come alive) my temperature is risin'
(Get in the groove) you've got me fantasizin'
(Sexy lady, come alive) ooh, let me dance, let me dance, let me dance, let me dance
(Get in the groove)
(Sexy lady, come alive) let's romance, let's move and groove, let's move, oh...
(Get in the groove) let me groove with you tonight, yeah
(Sexy lady, come alive) oh, oh...
(Get in the groove) let's get down tonight...
(Sexy lady, come alive...)
