Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me!
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me

We were victims of the night
The chemical, physical, kryptonite
Helpless to the bass and faded light
Oh we were born to get together
Born to get together

She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said

Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me!
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me

A backless dress and some beat up sneaks
My disco tec Juliet teenage dream
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me
I knew we were born to be together
Born to be together

She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said

Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me!
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me

Oh, come on girl

Deep in her eyes
I think I see the future
I realize this is my last chance

She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said

Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me!
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance!

Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me!
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me


Oh oh oh shut up and dance with me [x2]

        Reese Francis Clifford III (October 8, 1941 – January 26, 2018), known professionally as Buzz Clifford, was an American pop singer and songwriter. His biggest success came with his recording of "Baby Sittin' Boogie" (1961), which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.
            Clifford was born in Berwyn, Illinois. He played guitar as a child and won several talent competitions as a teenager. He signed to Bow Records at age 15, releasing a few singles but finding no success. After signing with Columbia Records, he released the single "Hello Mr. Moonlight", which did not chart. The follow-up, "Baby Sittin' Boogie"/"Driftwood" (though "Driftwood" was technically the B-side the record tends to be regarded as a double-A-side), became a crossover hit in the US in 1961, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 27 R&B, and No. 28 Country. The record went on to sell over one million copies, and as a result of its success, Columbia tried to groom Clifford as a heartthrob pop singer. He appeared on TV with Perry Como and Merv Griffin and on American Bandstand, and toured the United Kingdom with Freddy Cannon and Dion. Clifford's fame was short-lived, however; further singles went nowhere (a remake of Kay Kyser's "Three Little Fishies" hit #102) and Clifford soon found himself without a recording contract.
          After serving in the National Guard, Clifford moved to Los Angeles, California, and found work as a songwriter, writing tunes sung by Keith Barbour, Petula Clark, Clyde McPhatter, Lou Rawls, Leon Russell, Freddie King, and Kris Kristofferson. Later in the 1960s, he was involved with a band called Carp (including actor Gary Busey and songwriter Daniel Moore), who released one album on Epic Records in 1969. After a stint as one third of the group Hamilton Streetcar (with John Boylan of "Appletree Theatre" fame, and original group member Ralph Plummer—the group was originally named on behalf of former member John Burge, aka Ian Hamilton) which in 1969 recorded a self-titled album for Dot Records (Dot DLP25939), he also did recording sessions in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with former Beach Boy David Marks, but these were never issued.

Wanted to tell you
How I felt for so long
Scared to try
‘Cause it might turn out wrong
Wish I could tell you
Take my time simplify
Let you know what I’ve kept to myself
Deep inside
Wanting to touch you
 
Baby I could be so good at loving you
Baby I could learn to love you a lot
Baby I could be so good at loving you
If you’d let me we’d never stop
 
Hoping that you feel
Like I do want me to
Loving you
Means oh so much to me
Wait for the moment
Everyday hope and pray
That today might be the one
When I can tell you
Tell you
I love you
 
Baby I could be so good at loving you
Baby I could learn to love you a lot
Baby I could be so good at loving you
If you’d let me we’d never stop
 
Baby I could be so good at loving you
Baby I could learn to love you a lot
Baby I could be so good at loving you
If you’d let me we’d never stop.

PEARL JAM
SONGWRITERS: Eddie Vedder & Stone Gossard
COUNTRY: U.S.A.
ALBUM: TEN
LABEL: EPIC RECORDS
GENRE: GRUNGE
YEAR: 1991

Ten é o álbum de estreia da banda grunge estadunidense Pearl Jam, lançado em 27 de agosto de 1991 através da Epic Records. Após a saída do baixista Jeff Ament e do guitarrista Stone Gossard de seu grupo anterior Mother Love Bone, os dois recrutaram o vocalista Eddie Vedder, o guitarrista Mike McCready e o baterista Dave Krusen para formar o Pearl Jam em 1990. A maioria de suas canções começaram como jams instrumentais, a que Vedder adiciona letras sobre temas como depressão, desabrigados e abuso.
Ten não foi um sucesso imediato, mas no final de 1992 ele tinha alcançado o 2º lugar na parada Billboard 200. O álbum produziu três singles de sucesso: "Alive", "Even Flow" e "Jeremy", além da canção "Black", que não foi um single, mas também teve sucesso. Enquanto o Pearl Jam foi acusado de saltar para o grunge na época, Ten foi fundamental na popularização do rock alternativo no mainstream. O álbum foi certificado treze vezes platina pela RIAA nos Estados Unidos, vendendo cerca de 13.500.000 cópias, e permanece como o álbum mais bem sucedido do Pearl Jam.




Freezin', rests his head on a pillow
Made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better,
Set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again
Ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help,
When he's happy looks insane, oh yeah

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again...

Kneelin', looking through the paper
Though he doesn't know to read,
ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', out to something
that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings,
few and far between all illegal halls of shame, yeah

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...ah yeah...fuck it up...

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!

Woo...uh huh...yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy...
