Alabama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On we want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts be together
Oh baby 'cause it feels so good
When we're close like this
Whisper in my ear
Come on touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm fallin' in love
Tonight's the night and it feels so right
What my heart's saying to me
You're the one and I've waited so long
So let your love flow through me
Oh baby 'cause it feels so good
We can be this close
You've got me up so high
I could fly coast to coast
Come on touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm fallin' in love
Oh touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm fallin'
Feel you when I'm fallin' in love
Touch me when we're dancing
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm fallin'
All day and all of the night
Touch me when we're dancing
I want to feel you when I'm fallin'
Feel you when I'm fallin' in love
Touch me when we're dancing
Touch me when we're romancing
Touch me when we're dancing

I liked Karen Carpenter and her brother Richard's version of this song. I think that Alabama added life to this song as well. This song still sounds as good as it always has
