Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

The invitation to get out on the floor becomes a blunt order to leave. Faced with an intoxicated, unfaithful partner, the narrator replaces former devotion with a boundary he intends to keep. Dance-floor language sharpens the dismissal, turning a familiar phrase of celebration into the end of an exhausting relationship.

GET OUT ON THE FLOOR

I can hear you snorin’
It's getting kind of borin’
Outside, the rain is pourin’
And you're passed out on the floor
If I had seen it comin’ I’d be outta here and runnin’
Right on out that old screen door
I guess it's time to Get Out On The Floor

CHORUS:
Yes, It's time to Get Out On The Floor
Dance yourself right out of here
And don't you come back no more
Let me make it Delta clear
I don't want you around
Now grab your sticks and hit the bricks
Time to get on out of town

I'm throwin’ up my hands
And I'm crying out, no more
If I see you so whacked out again
I swear, one thing is for sure
You're a liar and a loser
And I don't love you anymore
A philanderer and a user
And, you're rotten to the core

I used to think I loved you
Could I have been so wrong?
I could not stop thinking of you
And I would sing you in my song
How was I to know
That you were stringing me along?
Let me cut you just one more
Slice of what you took me for

CHORUS:
Yes, It’s time to Get Out On The Floor
Dance yourself right outta here
And don’t you come back no more
Let me make this Delta clear
I don’t want you around
Now grab your sticks and hit the bricks
Time to get on out of town
