I Love to Love
Björk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my baby just loves to dance
He wants to dance
He loves to dance
He got to dance
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Oh I love to love
But there's no time for a romance
No no no-oh!
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
The minute
The band begins to swing it
He's on his feet to shake it
And dance the night away
Stop!
I'm spinning like a top
We dance until we drop
But if I have my way
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
He wants to dance
He loves to dance
He got to dance
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Oh I love to love
But he won't give our love a chance!
No no no-oh!
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Stop!
I'm spinning like a top
We dance until we drop
But if I have my way
Stop! stop!
Instead of going down down
We better go home and get down
But what I'm trying to say
I love to love!
But my baybay jsut loves to dance!
Yeah yeah
I love to love!
But my baybay jsut loves to dance!
Yeah yeah
I love to love!
But my baybay jsut loves to dance!
Yes he does.
