Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So they say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
I said, "Oh my God I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes"
Just like a monkey, I've been dancing my whole life
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So they say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
Ooh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh
Ooh
Ah, ah, ah
They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again"
They say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
All again"
The lyrics of Tones And I's song Dance Monkey describe a person who is captivated by another person’s unique dance moves. The song starts with the singer expressing their admiration for the person’s shining personality. They ask to hold hands and to see the person dance again, saying that they stopped dead in their tracks the first time they saw them dance. The singer repeats the phrases “dance for me” and “move for me,” indicating a desire to see the person move to their own rhythm.
The lyrics convey the idea that the person dancing is almost like a spectacle, something that the singer has never seen before. The line, “Just like a monkey I’ve been dancing my whole life” suggests that the singer is an experienced dancer, but is still a bit awestruck by the other person’s moves. The repetition of the phrases “dance for me” and “move for me” could also imply a power dynamic - the singer is exerting control over the other person, asking them to perform for their entertainment. Overall, the lyrics of Dance Monkey convey the idea of someone being entranced by another person’s unique sense of self-expression, and a desire to see them dance multiple times.
