Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance with me, oh-oh hold me closer, closer and closer
Much closer while the music plays, oh my little darlin', won't ya?
Dance with me, oh-oh hold me tighter, tighter and tighter
Much tighter while the rhythm sways
Put your lips to mine while the music plays
Now we're more than friends so
Dance with me, dance with me closer, closer and closer
And maybe we'll be lovers when the music ends
Doot-doot, dance with me
Doot-doot, dance with me
Doot-doot, dance with me
Doot-doot, dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me closer, closer and closer
And maybe we'll be lovers when the music ends
