Dance Monkey
Mark Vincent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say oh my God I see the way you shine
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

Oh, I see you, see you every time
Oh my, I like your style
You make me, make me want to cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say
Dance for me, dance for me
I've never seen these things you do before
They say move for me, move for me
And when you're done, you do it all again

I said oh my God I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes
Just like a monkey I've been dancing my whole life
But you beg to see me dance just one more time

Oh I see you, see you every time
Oh my, I like your style
You make me, make me want to cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say
Dance for me, dance for me
I've never seen the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me
And when you're done, you do it all again
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Dance for me, dance for me
I've never seen the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me
And when you're done, you do it all again

They say
Dance for me, dance for me
I've never seen the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me
And when you're done, you do it all again





You make me do it all again
