Timebomb Lyrics
Fast, time is ticking now so fast
The sand is running quick right through our hands
Beat, feel the rhythm in my heartbeat
Why don't you move your body to my body
Before we disappear?
[Chorus]
Tell me now (Woo)
Do you wanna, wanna (Woo)
I wanna, wanna dance
Like it was the last dance of my life
I wanna (Woo)
Wanna, wanna, wanna (Woo)
Do you wanna, wanna dance
Like it was the last dance?
[Verse 2]
Wait, no, please don't make me wait
When walls are shaking, ground feels like it might break
It's not the end of the world
It's just the start of me and you, yeah
So let's just take the moment
Boy, let's move
[Chorus]
Tell me now (Woo)
Do you wanna, wanna (Woo)
I wanna, wanna dance
Like it was the last dance of my life
I wanna (Woo)
Wanna, wanna, wanna (Woo)
Do you wanna, wanna dance
Like it was the last dance?
We're on a timebomb, it might not last long
So let's just do it right now, do it, come on
We're on a timebomb, before the night's gone
Let's just do it right now, do it, come on, come on
Wait, please don't make me wait
Wait, please don't make me wait
[Chorus]
Tell me now (Woo)
Do you wanna, wanna (Woo)
I wanna, wanna dance
Like it was the last dance of my life
I wanna (Woo)
Wanna, wanna, wanna (Woo)
Do you wanna, wanna dance
Like it was the last dance?
We're on a timebomb, it might not last long
So let's just do it right now, do it, come on
We're on a timebomb, before the night's gone
Let's just do it right now, do it, come on, come on

On a list of 30 of Kylie Minogue’s best singles, published on September 25, 2020, The Guardian ranked it as Kylie Minogue 26th best single, saying:
