Lyrics

Brittany:
I wanna dance!

Clocks strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase all my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
Its the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls my lonely heart calls

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a woman who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Santana with the Cheerios:
Somebody who,
Somebody who

Santana:
Somebody who loves me

Santana with the Cheerios:
Somebody who,
Somebody who

Santana:
To hold me in her arms
Oh!

Brittany:
I need a woman who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last

Brittany and Santana:
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls...

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Santana:
Ohhhh, ohhhh (Cheerios: Dance)
Come on baby, hahahaha (Cheerios: Dance)

Brittany:
Ooh!
Yeah! (Cheerios: Dance)

Santana:
Now get with this, hahahaha
Woah woah woah, yeah!

Brittany and Santana:
Don't you wanna dance (Cheerios: Dance)

Santana:
With me baby?

Brittany and Santana:
Don't you wanna dance (Cheerios: Dance)

Santana:
With me girl?

Brittany and Santana:
Hey, don't you wanna dance (Cheerios: Dance)

Santana:
With me baby?

Brittany and Santana:
With somebody who loves me.

Don't you wanna dance say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance? (Cheerios: Dance)
Don't you wanna dance say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance? (Cheerios: Dance)
Don't you wanna dance

Santana:
Say you wanna dance!
Uh huh! (Cheerios: Dance)

With somebody who loves me.

Trivia

To accommodate Brittany and Santana's relationship, the lyrics are subtly altered, replacing 'his' with 'her', 'man' with 'woman', etc. This is one of the few songs that this has happened in.
This song is the first (and only) duet sung by Brittany and Santana in Season Three, but is not their first time singing together. They also sang together in Run The World (Girls), though Santana merely sang back-up for Brittany then.
The line "my lonely heart calls" was replaced by the original lyrics "my loneliness calls".
Heather was not supposed to be in many of the shots in the auditorium, but she fought for being in them.
The outfits Santana and Brittany wear in the auditorium are the same outfits Whitney Houston wore in her music video to How Will I Know, which Glee also covered earlier in that episode.
