Dance with Me
Diplo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had another dream about you
These days, only thing I do
We'd been standin' in the same room
People talkin', but I don't want to
It's in one ear and out the other
I see you lookin' at me, but you're with another
Goes in one ear and out the other
Both eyes open and I can hear 'em sayin'

Dance with me, dance with me
Play that song, like baby, one, two, three
Come here close and gimme your body
Let's take it so far, so far, there's nowhere left to go
Dance with me, dance with me
Play that song, like baby, one, two, three
Come here close and gimme your body
Let's take it so far, so far, there's nowhere left to go

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, nowhere left to go
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na (na-na)
Heard you read a text and didn't reply
Looked your name up in the index and I didn't know why
Had no choice but let you splurge it, baby, yeah, I
Once wanted to buy a chopper, not no ten-speed (ten-speed)
I move the limit up to ten-speed (ten-speed)
I wanna know if you was into me
Or you just saw me with my equations up by deci's

Dance with me, dance with me
Play that song like baby, one, two, three
Come here close and gimme your body
Let's take it so far, so far, there's nowhere left to go
Dance with me, dance with me
Play that song like baby, one, two, three
Come here close and gimme your body
Let's take it so far, so far, 'cause girl, I got to know

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, nowhere left to go
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na

Started two strangers on the back of a bus
Had a good time, had a heck of a rush
Sometimes, a memory is never enough
It's never enough, it's never enough, no
Started two strangers in the back of the bus
Had a good time, had a heck of a rush
Sometimes, a memory is never enough
It's never enough, it's never enough, no

Dance with me, dance with me
Play that song, like baby, one, two, three
Come here close and gimme your body
Let's take it so far, so far, there's nowhere left to go

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, nowhere left to go
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na (nowhere left to go)
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, nowhere left to go (na-na)
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, nowhere left to go





Oh, oh, oh, oh
