Dancing In The Dark
Dev Ft. Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think about it when you touch me there
Close my eyes, here you are all alone dancing in the dark.
Tell me baby if it's wrong
To let my hands do what they want?
Late at night I pretend we are
Dance dance dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
When you work on me,
Open my body up and do some surgery,
Now that you got me up I wanna taste it taste it
And see those pocket aces.
I wanna see who you are.
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
On my waist, through my hair.
Think about it when you touch me there.
Close my eyes, here you are
Dance dance dancing in the dark!
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
I love to flirt to see.
I'm only talking to you if you wanna surf my seas.
Now that you got me boy
You know you better spice it flavor it get it right; savor it
Wanna see who you are,
Got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
I got a sex drive to push the start
On my waist, through my hair.
Think about it when you touch me there.
Close my eyes, here you are (here you are)
All alone dancing in the dark.
Tell me baby if its wrong?
To let my hands do what they want.
Late at night I pretend we are
Dance dance dancing in the dark
(oh la la)
Tell me baby if its wrong
Dancing in the dark
To let my hands do what they want.
Dancing in the dark! (it's the Cataracs)
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Dancing in the dark
Oh la la oh la la oh la la

I love this mix. Its the one I was introduced to driving home one rainy or snowy night after a party. I actually like Kanye (even though I don't want to) we both have that Aquarius energy.... this would def be a song I would want to be a part of.... also side note I'm partial to saxophone... my gf in 4th grade took up sax so I did too but then she quit so I did too... smh
It's an amazing song lol

I remember hearing this version back late 2010 early 2011 and I too heard this on a cold somewhat rainy night (definitely fitting the vibe lol). Anyways it's 2022 and this is one of the few songs that's aged pretty well.
