Lyrics
[Intro]
(Man) Come on, let the night begin
(Woman) I can feel that rhythm pulling me in
(Both) Step by step, we’re finding our way
[Verse 1 — Man]
You came through with a spark in your eyes
Turned a quiet little corner to a Friday night
I had a plan, then you changed the beat
Now my whole world moves underneath your feet
[Pre-Chorus — Woman]
Don’t slow down, I like this pace
Leave a little room, let me take my place
When the drum rolls low and the bright strings play
I can dance every worry away
[Chorus — Both]
Sugar on the pavement, shine beneath our shoes
Every little heartbeat has a brand-new groove
Turn me round, then bring me close
Let the good feeling overflow
Sugar on the pavement, sweet electric night
You and me together, moving just right
No big promises, nothing to prove
Just this wild little rhythm and you
[Post-Chorus]
(Woman) Sweet, sweet, sweet
(Man) Feel that beat
(Both) Round and round, we move our feet
[Verse 2 — Woman]
Your laugh cuts through like a trumpet line
You catch my hand and the moment feels right
The crowd fades out when you look my way
We make our own little world in the sway
[Pre-Chorus — Man]
Don’t slow down, I like this pace
Leave a little room, let me take my place
When the drum rolls low and the bright strings play
I can dance every worry away
[Chorus — Both]
Sugar on the pavement, shine beneath our shoes
Every little heartbeat has a brand-new groove
Turn me round, then bring me close
Let the good feeling overflow
Sugar on the pavement, sweet electric night
You and me together, moving just right
No big promises, nothing to prove
Just this wild little rhythm and you
[Bridge]
(Woman) One step forward
(Man) Two steps near
(Both) Let the whole night disappear
(Woman) Hold that feeling
(Man) Keep it alive
(Both) We’ve got the rhythm, we’ve got the time
[Final Chorus — Both]
Sugar on the pavement, shine beneath our shoes
Every little heartbeat has a brand-new groove
Turn me round, then bring me close
Let the good feeling overflow
Sugar on the pavement, sweet electric night
You and me together, moving just right
No big promises, nothing to prove
Just this wild little rhythm and you
[Outro]
(Woman) Sweet, sweet, sweet
(Man) Feel that beat
(Both) Sugar on the pavement
Moving our feet
(Man) Come on, let the night begin
(Woman) I can feel that rhythm pulling me in
(Both) Step by step, we’re finding our way
[Verse 1 — Man]
You came through with a spark in your eyes
Turned a quiet little corner to a Friday night
I had a plan, then you changed the beat
Now my whole world moves underneath your feet
[Pre-Chorus — Woman]
Don’t slow down, I like this pace
Leave a little room, let me take my place
When the drum rolls low and the bright strings play
I can dance every worry away
[Chorus — Both]
Sugar on the pavement, shine beneath our shoes
Every little heartbeat has a brand-new groove
Turn me round, then bring me close
Let the good feeling overflow
Sugar on the pavement, sweet electric night
You and me together, moving just right
No big promises, nothing to prove
Just this wild little rhythm and you
[Post-Chorus]
(Woman) Sweet, sweet, sweet
(Man) Feel that beat
(Both) Round and round, we move our feet
[Verse 2 — Woman]
Your laugh cuts through like a trumpet line
You catch my hand and the moment feels right
The crowd fades out when you look my way
We make our own little world in the sway
[Pre-Chorus — Man]
Don’t slow down, I like this pace
Leave a little room, let me take my place
When the drum rolls low and the bright strings play
I can dance every worry away
[Chorus — Both]
Sugar on the pavement, shine beneath our shoes
Every little heartbeat has a brand-new groove
Turn me round, then bring me close
Let the good feeling overflow
Sugar on the pavement, sweet electric night
You and me together, moving just right
No big promises, nothing to prove
Just this wild little rhythm and you

Every little heartbeat has a brand-new groove
Turn me round, then bring me close
Let the good feeling overflow
Sugar on the pavement, sweet electric night
You and me together, moving just right
No big promises, nothing to prove
Just this wild little rhythm and you
[Outro]
(Woman) Sweet, sweet, sweet
(Man) Feel that beat
(Both) Sugar on the pavement
Moving our feet
