Orleans

Orleans is an American pop-rock band best known for its hits "Dance with Me" (1975), "Still the One", from the album Waking and Dreaming (1976) and "Love Takes Time" (1979). The group's name evolved from the music it was playing at the time of their formation, which was inspired by Louisiana artists such as Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers. Orleans was formed in Woodstock, New York in January 1972 by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Hall, vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Larry Hoppen and drummer/percussionist Wells Kelly. In October of that year, the group expanded to include Larry's younger brother, Lance, on bass. Drummer Jerry Marotta joined in 1976, completing the quintet. more »

Well, I might not be able to say it out loud
I been watching you from across the crowd, baby
Just as soon as I get the chance
I'll happen to be there when you want to dance

Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said, I get tongue tied, I can't move my feet

Well, some other guys might hand you a line
If you like sweet talk I guess that, that's fine
I won't deceive you with grandiose plans
I put it to you, you'll know I'm your man

Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said that I get tongue tied, I can't move my feet

Tell me why it should be
That you have this effect on me
Why should I be shy with you?
I guess body English will just have to do

Some people sit and talk for days
They say funky music's a passing craze
Once we start to shake it on out
We'll give them something to talk about, yeah

Got to tell you how I feel
Words won't say it but my body will
I get so shy when I'm standing still
I get tongue tied when I have to speak
I said that I get tongue tied, I can't move my feet

Tongue tied when I have to speak
Baby, baby, baby
I get tongue tied and I can't move my feet
