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, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
So they say
"Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me oh, oh, oh"
"Iโฒve never seen anybody do the things you do before"
They say, "Move for me, move for me, move for me ay, ay, ay"
And when you're done Iโฒll make you do it all again
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, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
