Riley and the Roxies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen you dancin on the floor
Your moves can move me out the door
Now tell me, why are you waiting, girl
Just say the word

Beautiful, beautiful
Give me your affection

I need your attention
Come on lean in close
Little love, little love
Let's dance while we're still young
Love while we're still strong
Come on

I'll be wherever you want me babe
Palm trees in the shade of the golden state
Now tell me, why are you waiting for
Just say the word

Little love, little love
Let's dance while we're still young

Love while we're still strong
