Ginger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face?
Can't you see
I'm longing to be in his place?
Won't you change partners and dance with me?

Ask him to sit this one out while you're alone
I'll tell the waiter to tell him he's wanted on the telephone

You've been locked in his arms ever since heaven knows when

Won't you change partners and then
You may never want to change partners again

Overall Meaning

In the song Change Partners, Ginger Rogers is singing to a woman about how she has been dancing with the same man all night and asking her to change partners and dance with her. She questions the woman's loyalty to the man she's been dancing with all night and points out how close they have been dancing, with their lips almost touching. The singer reveals that she longs to be in his place and is asking the woman to give her a chance to dance with her instead.

The singer suggests that the woman ask the man to sit out this dance as she wants to dance alone with her. She instructs the waiter to tell him he is wanted on the telephone so that the woman can dance with her instead. Ginger Rogers tells the woman that she has been locked in his arms ever since she can remember, and asks her to change partners just this once. She hints that dancing with her might be a refreshing change and might make her never want to go back to her old partner.
