The Dirty Dancing sound is at times all of the above: lo-fi, noisy, angular and anthemic, with touches of darkwave, a post-punk edge, a reverbed atmosphere, and handclaps galore. Depending on the track, you can hear influences as varied as The Kills, Joy Division, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Gun Club, Talking Heads, and even a little T. Rex...

Time of my Life
Dirty Dancing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
jennifer warnes: 'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
jennifer warnes: We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Both: Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
bill medley: just remember
jennifer warnes: You're the one thing
bill medley: I can't get enough of
jennifer warnes: So I'll tell you something
Both:This could be love because
(CHORUS)
Both: I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
and I owe it all to you
bill medley: Hey Baby!
jennifer warnes: With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
bill medley: So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
jennifer warnes: Yes I know whats on your mind
When you say:
"Stay with me tonight."
bill medley: Just remember
You're the one thing
jennifer warnes: I can't get enough of
bill medley: So I'll tell you something
Both: This could be love because
(CHORUS)
Both: 'Cause I had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
and I owe it all to you
*Instrumental*
bill medley: Now I've had the time of my life

To stand by me
Someone who is willing to be there for me no matter what
We saw the writing on the wall
We knew something special was happening between us
As we felt this magical fantasy
We were both caught up in a magical moment
Now with passion in our eyes
We felt a strong connection and affection for each other
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
We could not hide this feeling and connection from each other
So we take each other's hand
We decided to embrace each other and cherish the moment
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
We both felt that this moment and connection was important and necessary
just remember
Always keep in mind
You're the one thing
You are the most important thing

I need you in my life, I cannot get enough
So I'll tell you something
Let me share something with you
This could be love because
This feeling could be love, because it is so powerful and uncontrollable

I have never felt anything like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
I promise this is all true

With everything that I am

I want you more than anything else in the world, more than you can imagine
So we'll just let it go
We will just go with the flow and see where this takes us
Don't be afraid to lose control
It is okay to let go and allow ourselves to feel this connection
Yes I know what's on your mind
I can sense what you are thinking and feeling
When you say: 'Stay with me tonight.'
When you ask me to stay the night, I know that you feel the same way
This could be love because
This feeling could be love, because it is so powerful and uncontrollable
And I've searched through every open door
I have explored all possibilities and opportunities to find the truth
Till I've found the truth
Until I discovered the truth
and I owe it all to you
I give you all the credit for helping me find the truth and feel this connection
