One With The Sea
Eddie and the Tide Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I came in here
To have a good time
With nothin' particular
On my mind
When I saw you
Sittin' there by yourself
Why don't we put a nickle
In the old jukebox
And come on, baby
I'll dance off your socks
Cause you sure look like
You need a friend tonight

I want to dance with you
To be with you
Maybe you could show me
A thing or two
I want to dance with you
To talk with you
Maybe together we can
Shake the blues
I want to dance with you
Rock with you
We'll have a ball
Before the night is through
I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you woo woo woo

I don't even know
Your name yet
But you're the kinda girl
A man can't forget
The way you move
Sure sets my soul on fire
So come on, baby
We'll show 'em all
We'll dance on the ceilin'
We'll dance on the wall
Before you're through
Dancin' to this heart of mine, mine, mine

I want to dance with you
To be with you
Maybe you could show me
A thing or two
I want to dance with you
To talk with you
Maybe together we can
Shake the blues
I want to dance with you
Rock with you
We'll have a ball
Before the night is through
I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you woo woo woo woo (yeah hit it)

Come on, baby
We'll show 'em all
We'll dance on the ceilin'
We'll dance on the wall
Before you're through
Dancin' to this heart of mine, mine,
Mine, mine, mine

I want to dance with you
To be with you
Maybe you could show me
A thing or two
I want to dance with you
To talk with you
Maybe together we can
Shake the blues
I want to dance with you
Rock with you
We'll have a ball
Before the night is through
I want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
I said I want to want to
want to dance with you woo woo woo woo





Can't you hear me little darlin'?

When I noticed your presence


Sittin' there by yourself
Seated alone

Let's use a nickel


In the old jukebox
In the antique music player


And come on, baby
And let's go, my dear

Because you appear to be


You need a friend tonight
You require some companionship for the evening

Thanks for the post. Don't remember this video , 'cause I was out of rock n' roll temporarily at that time ,
for some stupid , god damn religious reasons. Also, was working a lot on a graveyard shift at a Safeway store , so I wasn't getting out and dancing. Fucked-up time.
