Dance
(Music & Lyrics by Christine Owman)

She's the best damn woman
That you ever saw
And she teases you to death
When her eyes are on you
You'll do anything
To make her eeeee for you the same

And when you're closer now
You can see the drips
On her sweaty lips
The way she mimes the words
To which she moves her hips

She's dancing baby
But she's not dancing for you
I'm dancing baby
But not for you

Dance til I fall asleep
Until my legs are numb
And when I fall and can't get up
I'll know I've just begun
Dance til I fall asleep
Until my legs are numb
And when I fall and can't get up
I'll know I've just begun

She's dancing baby
But she's not dancing for you
I'm dancing baby
But not for you

The best damn woman
That you ever saw
(Damn woman)
She's the best damn woman
That you ever saw
(Damn woman)
And she teases you to death
(Damn woman)
The best damn woman
That you ever saw
(Damn woman)

She's dancing baby
But she's not dancing for you
(Damn woman, damn woman)
I'm dancing baby
But not for you
(Damn woman, damn woman)
She's dancing baby
But she's not dancing for you
(Damn woman, damn woman)
I'm dancing baby




But not for you
(Damn woman, damn woman)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'Dance' by Christine Owman can be interpreted to be about a woman who is the center of attention on the dance floor. The singer describes her as the best damn woman that anyone has ever seen, with the ability to entice anyone with her eyes. The singer is drawn to her and wants to be able to make her feel the same way about him. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that she is not dancing for him, but for herself. She is lost in the music and the moment, and even when the singer falls and can’t get up anymore, she continues to dance.


Throughout the song, there is an element of sadness, and it seems as if the singer is trying to find meaning in his life through dancing. The line "Dance til I fall asleep, until my legs are numb" suggests that the singer is trying to escape from something or that dancing is a way of releasing pent-up emotions. The song can be seen as a metaphor for life, with the dance floor representing living for the moment and enjoying life while you can.


Overall, the song 'Dance' by Christine Owman paints a vivid picture of a woman lost in the moment on the dance floor, and the singer's desire to be a part of it. However, the lyrics also suggest a deeper meaning, with the dance floor serving as a metaphor for life and the importance of living in the present.


Line by Line Meaning

She's the best damn woman
She is the most extraordinary woman


That you ever saw
That you have ever encountered


And she teases you to death
She makes you feel desired by flirting with you


When her eyes are on you
When she looks at you


You'll do anything
You are willing to go to great lengths


To make her eeeee for you the same
To make her feel the same way about you


And when you're closer now
As you get closer to her


You can see the drips
You notice drops of sweat


On her sweaty lips
On her moistened mouth


The way she mimes the words
The way she pantomimes the lyrics


To which she moves her hips
As she moves her body to the rhythm


She's dancing baby
She is dancing


But she's not dancing for you
But she is not performing for you


I'm dancing baby
I am dancing


But not for you
But not for your benefit


Dance til I fall asleep
Keep dancing until I become drowsy


Until my legs are numb
Until my legs lose feeling


And when I fall and can't get up
And when I collapse and cannot stand again


I'll know I've just begun
I will realize that I have only just started


The best damn woman
The most exceptional woman


That you ever saw (Damn woman)
That you ever encountered


She's dancing baby
She is dancing


But she's not dancing for you (Damn woman, damn woman)
But she is not performing for you


I'm dancing baby
I am dancing


But not for you (Damn woman, damn woman)
But not for your benefit


She's dancing baby
She is dancing


But she's not dancing for you (Damn woman, damn woman)
But she is not performing for you


I'm dancing baby
I am dancing


But not for you (Damn woman, damn woman)
But not for your benefit
