Dancin'
大橋純子 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everywhere I go
Life's a fantasy
But you can't take me down so low
Ain't the way it ought to be
You used to laugh and smile like a child, a live boy
But the dance ran away from your heart
Soften up and drop that plain old fashioned jive
'Cause my music's just beginning to start

I got dancin'
I got dancin' in my feet
I got dancin'
And I do it so unique
I got dancin'
And it makes me feel complete
When I move to the jam, the beat tells me who I am

There are wings inside of me
They keep my heart light
And when someone decides to ride me
And I'd rather love than fight
I know that deep inside there's a lovin' man now
But his head is caught in his own pain
I had better go, so catch me if you can
I'll take sunshine instead of pain

I got dancin'
I got dancin' in my feet
I got dancin'
And I do it so unique
I got dancin'
And it makes me feel complete
When I move to the jam, the beat tells me who I am

I got dancin'
I got dancin' in my feet
I got dancin'
And I do it so unique
I got dancin'
And it makes me feel complete
When I move to the jam, the beat tells me who I am

I got dancin'
I got dancin' in my feet
I got dancin'
And I do it so unique
Well, I got dancin'
I got dancin' in my feet
I got dancin'
So unique
I got dancin'

Ain't the way it ought to be
Life should be better than this, there should be more joy and happiness


You used to laugh and smile like a child, a live boy
You used to be carefree and happy, like a child full of life and energy


But the dance ran away from your heart
You lost your passion for life and joy, and it shows in your lack of dancing


Soften up and drop that plain old fashioned jive
Relax and let go of your old way of thinking, it's time for something new and exciting


'Cause my music's just beginning to start
The music is starting and it's going to be amazing and full of life

When someone tries to make me feel down or negative


And I'd rather love than fight
Instead of getting into arguments or conflicts, I choose to love and be positive


I know that deep inside there's a lovin' man now
Underneath the pain and negativity, there is a loving and caring person inside


But his head is caught in his own pain
Despite this good nature, he is stuck in his own sadness and struggles


I had better go, so catch me if you can
I need to keep moving and stay positive, so try to keep up if you can


I'll take sunshine instead of pain
I choose to look for happiness and light in life, instead of being weighed down by pain and negativity


Well, I got dancin'
Once again, I have a passion for dancing
