Let's Dance
Gregory Isaacs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's dance, put on your red shoes and dance the blues Let's dance, to the song they're playin' on the radio Let's sway, while color lights up your face
Let's sway, sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance Ld's dance, for fear your grace should fall Let's dance, for fear tonight is all
Let's sway, you could look into my eyes
Let's sway, under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

And if you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance, put on your red shoes and dance the blues Let's sway, under the moonlight, this serious moonlight Let's dance Ld's dance
Let's dance, dance, dance
Let's dance - Gregory Isaacs

I want to dance with you all night long
My arms want to hold you all night long
As we embrace and you heart came close to mine
I get so excited I could cry

I want to feel your lips resting by mine*
As we swing and sway down the line
I can see the love light shining in your eyes
I get so excited I could cry

I want to dance with you all night long
Caress me darling with all your charms
As we embrace and your heart came close to mine
I get so excited I could cry

Let me hold your hand all night long
Put your arms around me, hold me strong

I want to dance with you all night long
Dance with you all night long

As we embrace and you heart came close to mine
I get so happy I could cry





I wanna dance with you!

on Dieting

Lord

Lord

I sit and wonder have I sinned
As I partake of my dieting, yeah
Just to know that every day, oh yeah
My whole life depend on a food tray, yeah
An happy day, a night of pain
I wonder when this a-term will end
Cos I'm a man and I've got to go
I don't know when I'm gonna get parole
But I'm a-one day
I'm a-one day
Yes, I'm a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home

The place in which that I dwell, Lord knows
Was just an old iron gate in hell, yeah
But still I survive
The foolish man always build strife
Nuh want no baton stick come bruck me bone
The worldly man, leave me alone

Cos I'm a man and I've got to go
I don't know when I'm gonna get parole
But I'm a-one day
I'm a-one day
Yes, I'm a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home

Uunh
One day closer to home

I sit and wonder have I sinned, Lord God
As I partake of my dieting
Hurts to know that every day, every long day
My whole life depend on a food tray
An happy day, a night of pain
I wonder when this a-term will end
Cos I'm a man and I've got to go
I don't know when I'm gonna get parole
But I'm a-one day
I'm a-one day
I'm a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
To home
I need, aah
To home
One day closer

on Dieting

The tune, 'Dieting', is absolutely, totally and completely the hottest and the coolest tune in this album. It is absolutely massive. It is my absolute best. Anyone who thinks otherwise has NOT listened to it yet. It is heartrending in its story -- Gregory's harrowing experience in prison -- hard in its riddim (Roots Radics at their best) and soul uplifting in its melody. Jesus! Are you guys kidding me? 'Dieting' is without parrallel in this album.

on A Few Words

Cool Ruler had classic voice, ......one of those voice one can't imitate. these songs sang more than 30 years ago will still be played and relevant more than a century later... R.I.P

Gicharu


on Front Door

The white men lose

"The white men lose", does not make sense...."While I may lose"

Gicharu


on Better Plant Some Loving

This was my best cassette of G.I , all songs with the exception of Let off Supm, were classic love songs. His collabo with Dennis Brown on Let off Supm was a gem

Vinnie
