Just One Dance
Emerald Caro Lyrics

Hey handsome have you got the time
The artist is asking a man she finds attractive if he has a minute for her.

I've been watching you since the moment you arrived
The artist has had her eyes on the man she is interested in since he arrived.

A white suit from London, and shoes from Paris
The artist admires the fashion sense of the man she is interested in, and notes that he is dressed very stylishly.

Don't'cha wanna spend about an hour with me
The artist is inviting the man she is interested in to spend some time with her.

The scent and the aroma refuses to breathe
The artist is describing how she is drawn to the man's scent.

It's more like a haze that is trying to succeed
The artist compares her attraction to the man's scent to a fog that is overpowering her senses.

It's drawing me in and pulling me to you
The artist is indicating that she feels a strong attraction to the man and is being pulled towards him.

And every thought I have turns the language blue
The artist is implying that she is finding it difficult to articulate her thoughts because she is so captivated by this man.

All it costs is just a minute now
The artist is suggesting that it would only take a minute for the man to give her a chance.

For one dollar you can show me how
The artist is using playful language to suggest that the man can prove to her how charming he is for a small fee.

I'll take your hand and then your worries too
The artist is offering herself as a caring and supportive partner, willing to help the man feel less anxious.

In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true
The artist is implying that she can fulfill the man's hopes and desires simply by sharing a dance with him.

Don't know why you play hard to get
The artist is expressing frustration that the man seems hesitant to pursue a connection with her.

I'm here to kiss away any thoughts of your regret
The artist is indicating that she wants to help the man forget any worries or doubts he might be having.

The silk tie from Siam shows elegance and class
The artist is using the man's fashion sense as further evidence of his sophistication.

Handsome as the heavens that a film would never cast
The artist is saying that the man is so strikingly good-looking that he would be perfect in a role too rare to be cast.

But underneath the mask I see the skin of a man
The artist is acknowledging that while the man is very attractive, she recognizes that he is a real person with real feelings.

Smooth and seductive who's really got a plan
The artist is suggesting that the man is not only charming but goal-oriented as well.

It's drawing me in, magnetically to you
The artist is continuing to express her strong attraction to the man and how it feels completely out of her control.

I'm like the smoke on your fire
The artist is likening herself to the way a fire smolders with smoke.

Smoldering endless desire
The artist is indicating that her attraction to the man feels very intense and seemingly could go on forever.

How long will your flame burn
The artist is questioning how long the man will be interested in her, if he even is.

All it costs is just a minute now
The artist is repeating the idea that the man only needs to give her a chance for a short amount of time.

For one dollar you can show me how
The artist is again using playful language to suggest that the man can demonstrate his charm with a small fee.

I'll take your hand and then your worries too
The artist is reiterating that she is willing to be a supportive partner to the man.

In just one dance I'll make your dreams come true
The artist is repeating the idea that she can fulfill the man's desires simply by sharing a dance with him.
