Lyrics
I’m in the mood for a melody
I’m in the mood for a melody
I’m in the mood
I’m in the mood for a melody
I’m in the mood for a melody
I’m in the mood
I’m in the mood for a melody
I’m in the mood for a melody
I’m in the mood
I can make you dance, can make you sing
I can make you dance, I can make you sing
If you want me too
Oh, I can make you dance, I can make you sing
I can make you dance, I can make you sing
If you want me too
Oh, I can make you dance, I can make you sing
I can make you dance, I can make you sing
If you want me too
Any little song that you wanna sing
A little song that you wanna sing
A song will do
Here’s a little song that you wanna sing
A little song that you wanna sing
A song for you
A little song that you wanna sing
A little song that you wanna sing
Happy or blue
I’m in the mood (ahh)
I’m in the mood (ahh)
I’m in the mood (ahh)
Why’d I end up doin’ it, doin’ it, doin’ it
Do anything that you want me for
If you want me to
Do it right, do it wrong
‘Cause a matter of fact, it’ll turn out to be strong
If you want me to
If you want me to
Oh, if you want me to
If you want me to
If you want to
