I absolutely freaking love this song. I never get tired of hearing it. This hit single, from the Destiny album, was released on December 9, 1978. With total confidence and a gorgeous smile, Michael is just starting to show his sexy bad self to the world. Enjoy!

I don’t know what’s going happen to you baby
But I do know that I love you
You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want you

Let’s dance, let’s shout (shout)
Shake your body down to the ground
repeat x 4

You tease me with your loving to play hard to get
Cause you do know that I want you
You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want you

Let’s dance, let’s shout (shout)
Shake your body down to the ground
repeat x 4

You are the spark that lit the fire inside of me
And you know that I love it
I need to do just something to get closer to your soul
And you do know that I want you

Let’s dance, let’s shout (shout)
Shake your body down to the ground
repeat x 4

You tease me with your loving to play hard to get
Cause you do know that I want you
I need to do just something to get closer to your soul
And you do know that I want you

Let’s dance, let’s shout (shout)
Shake your body down to the ground
repeat x 4

Let’s dance, let’s shout
repeat chorus till fade

Oh boy, I believe this was the first time I ever watched the video.
I’m sitting here with a huge smile on my face. I was just 7 years old when the song was released, so obviously I was a little too young to appreciate something like this. My love affair with Michael did not really start until Thriller. I liked some of the songs from Off the Wall, but Michael was just some other guy at that time, and the Jackson 5 before that, well, I did not really pay attention to them. (Okay, things have changed since then!)
Watching him now, performing like that at the tender age of 20, well as I said – it makes me smile! He is absolutely adorable. The fact that he manages to look cute in that horrible 1970′s outfit is just a proof of his “quality”.

I’m going to watch it again…right now!
