    Star Club

    by: Dahpne & Celeste

    Do you want to dance
    I want this stupid week to end
    I'd rather hang out with my friends
    Crazy people along the street are yelling at me
    So much there is to deal with
    I should charge a fee
    Tonight I wanna dance
    And I want to be free
    I want my girls to come with me
    Chorus
    Meet me tonight at the star club
    Where we can get in for free
    If they give you some flack at the front door
    Just tell them you're with me
    I know I'm such a lucky girl
    I love my life and all the world
    All the emotions that stop my energy
    Thats when I know that I got to go
    So when you know you're beening lame
    You wanna get in on the game
    When you can hear the disco beat as clear as a bell
    It's time to rock that funky body out of its shell
    So drop my name with the doorman
    His name is Montell
    And he'll make sure you're treated well
    ChorusX7
    Dance the night away
    Before I get to old
    And feel the music head to toe
    Chorus
    Love to the rythm
    Love to the rhyme
    Love to my girlies all the time
    Love to the DJ
    Love to the band
    Love to the people at the hotdog stand
    Love to the people that know they've been clubbing
    Love to the people that need a little loving
    Grace to the people of the world in need
    Come and shake your booty if you wanna be free
