Erato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing, you come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music′s high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine, you're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tamburine oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Oh, see that girl
Watch that sceen, dig in the dancing queen
You′re a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you′re gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You′re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tamburine oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Oh, see that girl
Watch that sceen, dig in the dancing queen
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Oh, see that girl
Watch that sceen, dig in the dancing queen
