I can see every time I look into your eyes
You don't care a thing about those other guys
Without words you make me understand what's on your mind
The rhythm of your body close to mine
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good, love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong
I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holding you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
Sometimes it's cold sometimes it's hot
Love's either right or it's wrong
Feels so good, love you a lot
Right here beside me is where you belong
I don't care if everybody knows the way I feel
Until the dream of holding you is real
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
I can tell by the way you dance
That you're gonna love me tonight
