Stepping inside a Friday nightclub
Dressed to the nines,
And you're saving up for your favourite song,
And when it comes on, your body blazes.
You shine like a light,
As your pulses race
He see your face
Across the room.

Will I be waiting for you all night?

I'm sick of the sight of wasted rich kids
Stood at the sides of empty floors
Like they're pressing pause on the rest of our lives.
No sign of smiles
Hun you know we're inside?
So please spare us
Your fake Wayfarers
Could you love?

Will I be waiting for you all night?
To come lead me to the strobe lights

You'll never get to heaven if you dance like that.
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
You're never gonna get it if you hold me back. Ooh
You'll never get to heaven if you dance like that.
Oh, oh, oh
You're never gonna get it if you hold me back. Ooh

Now you're catching my eye
And you're moving forward.
You throw me a smile
And as we start moving
You start proving
You wanna be mine.
And you pull me closer
We're stepping outside and the sound of sirens fills the silence

Cos I've been waiting for you all night
To come lead me to the strobe lights

You'll never get to heaven if you dance like that.
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
You're never gonna get it if you hold me back. Ooh
You'll never get to heaven if you dance like that.
Oh, oh, oh
You're never gonna get it if you hold me back. Ooh

Never get to heaven if you, wa, oh, oh
You're never gonna' get it if you, ooh, ooh, ooh
Never get to heaven if you, wa, oh, oh
You're never gonna' get it if you ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Cos I've been waiting for you all night
To come lead me to the strobe lights

You'll never get to heaven if you dance like that.
Oh, oh, oh, ohh
You're never gonna get it if you hold me back. Ooh
You'll never get to heaven if you dance like that.
Oh, oh, oh
You're never gonna get it if you hold me back. Ooh
