I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) Lyrics

Clocks strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls loneliness calls

Chorus:
Oh! Wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah! Wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Soon or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

Love Love Love this song. I could listen to it every day for the rest of my life and never tire. What a voice she had before drugs affected it. She was tops at one time, and rightfully so.

rupert captured the meaning, unfortunately. This song is so energetic. It was huge in the dance clubs of the 80's. Everyone would rush to the floor to dance to it. There was always an energy in Whitney's voice/songs. It just seemed to weave through the heart and body and make the legs wanna move:)

The song, like many of hers, was so well suited for her vocal range. She had a very special voice until her not-so-good behavior strained her vocal chords. This song brings back the exceptional singer of so long ago...and, yes, I wanna dance with somebody vertically; horizontally; diagonally; and even caddy-cornered:)

Not Valid

Her vocal range was amazing. Agreed. Had to dance to her music.

One of my favorite tunes to move to. Just makes you whacky happy. I dont think she means literally but more so a person who lifts your spirit up, makes you feel good and brings the best out of you. I think that's what we can all hope for. I always say when you're old and grey you want to be with somebody that you not only love but like. It's easy to love someone but to really like them is what it's really about. I think..,
