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 my blues away I've done alright up till 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

Girls: Somebody who somebody who

Santana: Somebody who loves me

Girls: 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 Come on baby, hahahaha

Brittany: Ooh! Yeah!

Santana: Now get with this, hahaha Woaah

Brittany and Santana: Don't you wanna dance

Santana: With me baby?

Brittany and Santana: Don't you wanna dance

Santana: With me girl?

Brittany and Santana: Don't you wanna 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? Don't you wanna dance say you wanna dance Don't you wanna dance? Don't you wanna dance

Santana: Say you wanna dance? Uh huh

Brittany and Santana: With somebody who loves me.

Trivia

 * This song was voted the winner of "Best Female/Female Duet" at the 2012 Glee Wiki Awards.
 * 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 the season, but is not their first time singing together. They 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".
 * Santana doesn't get to sing before the bridge. Brittany sings the first two verses and choruses all by herself.
