Let's Dance
David Bowie feat. Stevie Ray Vaughan Lyrics

Hey baby, won't you take a chance?
The singer is asking if the listener would like to take a risk and join him in dancing.

If you want to, you can have a dance
The singer is leaving the decision of dancing up to the listener.

Let's dance, let's dance
The singer is inviting the listener to dance multiple times.

Do the twist and shout, mashed potato too
The singer is suggesting different dance moves to try.

Any old dance that you want to do
The singer is open to any dance the listener wants to try.

Hey baby, now you're all alone
The singer recognizes that the listener is alone and wants to offer them company.

Hey baby, let me walk you home
The singer offers to escort the listener home.

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
The singer suggests wearing red shoes to dance and forget about one's worries.

Dance to the song they're playing on the radio
The singer tells the listener to dance to the music that's on the radio.

While color lights up your face
The singer describes the effect of dancing on the listener's appearance.

Sway through the crowd to an empty space
The singer suggests moving through the crowd to find a place to dance.

If you say run, I'll run with you
The singer promises to be there for the listener and run with them if needed.

If you say hide, we'll hide
The singer promises to hide with the listener if needed.

Watch my love for you
The singer wants the listener to see how much they care about them.

It would break my heart in two
The singer explains how it would hurt them if the listener didn't reciprocate their love.

If you should fall into my arms and tremble like a flower
The singer describes how they would comfort the listener if they were vulnerable.

Let's dance, let's dance
The singer invites the listener to dance again.

Let's dance, let's dance
The singer continues to invite the listener to dance.
