[Verse 1]
My brother said “Come on, just one little spin”
So I slicked back my hair and I followed him in
I stood by the wall where the shadows play
Thinkin’ I’d slip out the very same way
But that old jukebox started to scream
Like it cracked open some wild dream
My feet got hot, my heart went fast
Like the floor had reached up and grabbed me at last
[Chorus]
It ain’t me, no it ain’t me
It’s that rhythm settin’ me free
Shoop-shoop shakin’ right through my bones
That beat done turned me into somethin’ I don’t own
I was shy as a boy till the music said “Go!”
Now I’m burnin’ up that ol’ dance floor
[Verse 2]
Girls stepped back like they made a space
Like they knew I was catchin’ that flame in place
I twisted and turned like I’d done it before
Like I’d been born right there on that floor
The band was grinnin’, the crowd went loud
Like thunder rollin’ through that crowd
I wasn’t thinkin’, I wasn’t still
Just a heartbeat breakin’ my will
[Chorus]
It ain’t me, no it ain’t me
It’s that rhythm settin’ me free
Shoop-shoop shakin’ right through my bones
That beat done turned me into somethin’ I don’t own
I was shy as a boy till the music said “Go!”
Now I’m burnin’ up that ol’ dance floor
[Verse 3]
Word got around like wildfire news
“Some quiet kid got rhythm in his shoes”
Next thing I know there’s a circle drawn wide
Like they’re waitin’ for lightning to strike inside
I tried to step back, tried to cool down slow
But that ol’ jukebox started to glow
Same song comin’ back for more
Like it knew my name on that dance floor
[Chorus]
It ain’t me, no it ain’t me
It’s that rhythm settin’ me free
Shoop-shoop shakin’ right through my soul
That beat don’t ask—it just takes control
I was lost in the wall till the music said “Go!”
Now I’m burnin’ up that ol’ dance floor
[Bridge (breakdown)]
Then it stopped… just like a snap
And I stood there blinkin’ in the clap
Red in the face, head hangin’ low
Thinkin’ I’d slip out slow
But the bass went boom, the drummer hit back
Like “boy you ain’t done with that track”
[Final Chorus (big finish)[
It ain’t me, no it ain’t me
It’s that rhythm settin’ me free
Whole room movin’ like a rollin’ tide
And I’m just ridin’ where the beat decides
I was shy as a boy till the music said “Go!”
Now I’m the king of that ol’ dance floor glow
