I don't want to be the kind to hesitate Be too shy, wait too late I don't care what they say other lovers do I just want to dance with you I got a feeling that you have a heart like mine So, let it show, let it shine If we have a chance to make one heart of two I just want to dance with you I want to dance with you Twirl you all around the floor That's what they intended dancing for I just want to dance with you I want to dance with you Hold you in my arms once more That's what they invented dancing for I just want to dance with you I caught you looking at me when I looked at you Yes, I did; ain't that true? You won't get embarrassed by the things I do I just want to dance with you Oh, the boys are playing softly, and the girls are too So am I, and so are you If this were a movie, we'd be right on cue I just want to dance with you I want to dance with you Twirl you all around the floor That's what they intended dancing for I just want to dance with you I want to dance with you Hold you in my arms once more That's what they invented dancing for I just want to dance with you I want to dance with you Twirl you all around the floor That's what they intended dancing for I just want to dance with you I want to dance with you Hold you in my arms once more That's what they invented dancing for I just want to dance with you I just want to dance with you I just wan to dance with you I just want to dance with you
