When I See You Dance With Another
Royal Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I see you dance with another
I can't bring myself not to bother
When I see you dance with another (Come on!)
When I see you talk to another
When I see you talk to another
I got no choice but to go undercover
When I see you dance with another, come on!
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
God, I know your love is unkind
I can't get you off of my, my, my mind
Yeah! Come on!
When I see you dance with another
When you put your hands on another
I can't bring myself not to bother
When I see you dance with another, come on!
When I see you walk with another
When I see you talk to another
I got no choice but to go undercover
When I see you dance with another
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
God, I know your love is unkind
I can't get you off of my, my, my mind
With every second,
My heart gets colder
With every minute,
You're getting bolder
If you wanna do it, do it to my face
If you wanna do it, do it to my face (oh come on)
If you wanna do it, do it to my face
If you wanna do it, do it to my face (oh come on)
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
God, I know your love is unkind
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you (I can't get you)
Say it: "I can't get you"
I fucking get ya!
I can't get you (off of my mind)
I can't get you (off of my mind)
I can't get you (off of my mind)
I can't get you (yeah, yeah)
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my mind
I can't get you off of my, my, my mind.
Hey!
The lyrics to Royal Republic's "When I See You Dance with Another" speak to the frustration and pain of seeing someone you're in love with moving on and being with someone else. The repetition of the phrase "When I see you dance with another" emphasizes the specific moment and action that is causing the singer distress. The lyrics also convey a sense of helplessness and lack of control, as the singer notes that they "can't bring [themself] not to bother" and that they feel they have "no choice but to go undercover" when they see the person they love with someone else.
Another important aspect of the lyrics is the theme of unrequited love. The singer acknowledges that the object of their affection is "unkind" in their love, suggesting that they do not reciprocate the singer's feelings. This is further emphasized by the lines "I can't get you off of my mind," which suggests that the singer is constantly thinking about the person they love, even though they know it's futile.
Finally, the lyrics take on a more confrontational tone towards the end, with the singer declaring that if the person they love is going to move on, they should do it "to my face," rather than behind the singer's back. The repeated line "I can't get you off of my mind" becomes more forceful and angry, suggesting a growing sense of frustration and anger that is building up inside the singer.
Overall, "When I See You Dance with Another" is a powerful expression of the pain and frustration of unrequited love, and the difficulty of moving on when the person you love is with someone else.

The sight of you dancing with someone else bothers me
I can't bring myself not to bother
I can't help feeling bothered by seeing you dance with someone else
When I see you talk to another
When I see you talking with another person
I got no choice but to go undercover
I feel the need to go unnoticed and observe you secretly when you talk with someone else
HO! HA! HO!
I can't get you off of my mind

With every second,
As time passes,
My heart gets colder
I become more emotionally distant and detached
With every minute,
As more time elapses,
You're getting bolder
You're becoming more daring or confident in your actions
If you wanna do it, do it to my face
If you want to do something, confront me about it directly
I fucking get ya!
I understand what you're doing or trying to do
I can't get you off of my mind
I cannot stop thinking about you
