Mambo Tonight
JoJo Effect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering if she's wondering why
While I′m wishing every moment
Maybe she won't pass me by
I dream of mambo every night
Each step of passion, pure delight
But when will she gaze into my arms
Eyes locked on 'til the dance is done
So tell me you′ll dance this mambo tonight
Lying wide awake yet dreaming
Dreaming how i live to dance with you
Praying, waiting for your answer
To a question so overdue
I dream of mambo every night
Each step of passion, pure delight
But when will she gaze into my arms
I know that we could move as one
Eyes locked on ′til the dance is done
So tell me you'll dance this mambo in the night
I dream of mambo every night
Each step of passion, pure delight
But when will she gaze into my arms
I know that we could move as one
Eyes locked on ′til the dance is done
So tell me you'll dance this mambo in the night
