Ask Her to Dance
Coconut Records Lyrics

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh

Mm mm mm, mm mm mm
Mm mm mm, mm mm mm
Mm

Ask her to dance and she'll tell you a lie
Tell her she's wrong and she'll tell you you're right

Sun set on this town only hours ago
Though it feels like this evening moving so slow
Oh no

Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense

Well the problem with this see I don't understand
You say you'll come with me but you don't take my hand
The sun set on this town only hours ago
Though it feels like this evening don't want to come slow

Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense

Oh no

Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Am I making sense
Oh ooh oh oh oh oh
