The name The Faces refers to well known people about town, and the band's previous incarnation as the Small Faces also referred to the diminutive stature of the band members. With the addition of Rod Stewart (5'8") and Ron Wood (5'9") the band dropped the "small" but continued as the Faces. However their first album was actually released in the U.S. under the name Small Faces due to a mistake by their record company.


There are more than one act with this name:
2) hip hop project of kasey karrer + roman luna

3) 1970s Nigerian afrobeat funk band

4) rapper, member of .Cult

You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything
Faces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey baby, I want to say somethin' to ya', listen

Sometimes when I get out of my head
And I say all the wrong things
Sometimes I know I stay out late at night
And I get back fighting, hey babe
Somehow all my plans
Keep slippin' through my hands
And I end up crying, but listen
I can be a millionaire
Honey when you're standing there
You're so exciting

You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, and I love it

Sometimes I want to get up so early
And get away from here girl
Summer's gone, and before long
North winds blow, that bring the snow
I'll keep us warm girl
My schemes it seems, are merely dreams
Fading with each morning, hey babe
But this old heart of mine
Is far too proud not to keep on tryin'

You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing, yeah baby

Ah yeah

So little bird don't fly away
Want you here every day
Don't ever leave me
I'd rather lose both my eyes
Than never see your smiling face again girl

'Cause you can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing
You can make me dance, you can make me sing,
You can make me do just any old thing

Hey babe
Keep on loving me babe, yeah
Keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving me babe
Just keep on loving, ooh babe

Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling, darling, darling, darling
Ha ha

Woo, alright
Hey baby
Oh darling
Keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling




Just keep on loving me darling
Just keep on loving me darling

Ronnie Wood, Ronnie Lane and Rod Stewart. What great music from so many years gone by. I remember the first time I heard this recording; it was sometime around the Spring of 1976 although I know it was recorded years before. What a special group this was. Ronnie Wood spent a quarter century trying to gain respect as part of the Stones but this guy always played such a beautiful gutiar and never got the respect. I could listen to this until the end of life itself. Thank you, Ronnie Wood.

Laurel Riding

I agree! Ronnie Wood WAS, and STILL IS, ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS I'VE EVER SEEN, WATCHED, AND HEARD; AND YOU'RE ALSO CORRECT; HE NEVER RECEIVED THE RECOGNITION HE SO RIGHTFULLY DESERVED. VERY SAD, VERY UNJUST. BUT RONNIE, I THINK YOU'RE A BETTER GUITARIST THAN ERIC CLAPTON, ANY DAY IN MY WEEK, MONTH, OR YEAR!!! "I'M HERE FOR YA, BABE." I KNOW YOU'RE NOT 🚫 CRAZY 😧 ABOUT SINGIN', (LOL!) BUT MY DOOR IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS OPEN FOR AN EVENING OF PLAYING SOME GUITAR FOR ME, FOR A WOOD. 🎹🎻

Erich Hartmann

Ronnie Lane is a legend. Tetsu was in the band for this track though

jonnybrowne

Wonderful song by a wonderful band - typically warm and soulful vocal by Rod, and Ronnie at his very best. 

Freek Kraus

Great band. Great sound. Never heard something alike after they stopped.
