In the rhythm of the street, the steam is rising, you can feel the heat
She puts on her make-up, puts shoes on her feet, she's going down tonight
You can feel it from a distance like a nuclear bom
She knows she's looking good with the new dress on
And all the guys with the X-ray eyes check her out as she walks on by

She's a primitive girl, no jewel like money's buyin'
A slave to the rhythm, a rhythm machine
I wanna make that girl, make that scene

Chorus:
There's a heatwave on the floor tonight
Watch her move, watch her melt the ice
She's in ecstasy, she spins and she whirls
Dancing off the edge, off the edge of the world

I'm looking for a hot romance, how am I gonna get that girl
When she's dancing off the edge of the world
Dancing off the edge, watch her move

In the rhythm of the beat, she motions her body, she becomes complete
With the rock 'n roll music, it's indiscrete, it's sexual
You'd better cut her some space, give her some air
You can try if you like, but I wouldn't dare
She don't know it yet, but this is a love affair, she's mine, all mine

She's a primitive girl, no jewel like money's buyin'
A slave to the rhythm, a rhythm machine
I wanna make that girl, make that scene

chorus

I'm looking for a hot romance, how am I gonna kiss that girl
When she's dancing off the edge of the world

Just look at that girl, watch her move, yeah, watch her groove

(Instrumental break)

Everyone sees me smile, from a million miles away
All the gigolo's try and try their best move, she just walks on by

chorus

Dancing off the edge, the edge of the world, yeah
Dancing off the edge, the edge of my world, dancing off the edge
