I'd Rather Dance With You
Kings of Convenience Lyrics

I'd rather dance with you than talk with you
I prefer to communicate through dance than through words with you.

So why don't we just move into the other room
Let's go to another room where we can dance without disturbance.

There's space for us to shake and hey, I like this tune
There is enough space for us to dance and I like the music.

Even if I could hear what you said
Even if I could listen to you properly,

I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
I don't think my response would be captivating enough for you.

Because I haven't read a single book all year
I haven't read any book the entire year.

And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all
I didn't enjoy the only movie I watched.

The music's too loud, and the noise from the crowd
The music is loud, and the noise from the crowd makes it harder to understand each other.

Increases the chance of misinterpretation
The high volume of the music makes misunderstanding more likely.

So let your hips do the talking
Let's communicate with each other via dancing.

I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
I'll try to make you laugh by mimicking the singer's mannerisms.

And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
You'll make me happy by dancing with enthusiasm.

Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Let's enjoy the rhythm and have fun.

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I would much rather express myself through dance than speech with you.

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I would choose dancing over talking as a means of communication with you.

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
Dancing is my preferred way of connecting with you instead of using words.
