Play us a song we can slow dance on We want to hold each other Play us a groove so we hardly move Just let our hearts beat together Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good When we're close like this Whisper is my ear and let me steal a kiss Come on and touch me When we're dancing You know you've got that loving touch (Loving touch) Touch me when we're dancing I want to feel you when I'm falling in love Tonight's the night and it feels so right My heart is saying it to me You're the one I've waited for so long So let your love flow through me Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good Just to be this close You've got me up so high I could fly coast to coast Come on and touch me When we're dancing You know you've got that loving touch (Loving touch) Touch me when we're dancing I want to feel you when I'm falling in love Touch me when we're dancing You know you've got that loving touch (Loving touch) Touch me when we're dancing I want to feel you when I'm falling in love Touch me when we're dancing You know you've got that loving touch (Loving touch) Touch me when we're dancing
