You Don't Dance
Ryan McMullan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you caught my eye and then you took my breath away
That summer dress and your auburn hair
Well we dont see much of your kind around here
You started walking in my direction
Never looking down
Never breaking the eye connection
We'll be on the floor
And we moved our feet to the sound of the music babe
Come on, come on, come on
you don't dance the same as everyone does
You're the drug that i can't get enough of
Now it's not the same as it ever was
Oh baby come on
You don't dance the same as everyone
I've only known you for a little while
But girl you've got to chill you're driving me wild tonight
I only wish that i could read your mind
And give you all your heart desires
I took your hand and i pulled you closer
Never had a plan
Never needed to think it over
I can't understand
This feeling is taking over
And we moved our feet to the sound of the music babe
Come on, come on, come on
You don't dance the same as everyone does
You're the drug that i can't get enough of
Now it's not the same as it ever was
Oh baby come on
You don't dance the same as everyone does
The same as everone does
Ohh the same as everyone
You don't dance the same as everyone... does
When the night is over can i walk you home?
I promise you that my intentions are honoreble
And if it gets colder you can have my coat
I'll be allright cause you warm my soul
You gave me something i can't explain
I felt it in my heart and now i can't walk away
So hopefully tomorrow we can do it all over again
Cause we moved our feet to the sound of the music babe
Come on
You don't dance the same as everyone does
You're the drug and i can't get enough of you
Now it's not the same as i ever was no
Oh baby come on you dont dance the same as everyone
The song You Don't Dance by Ryan McMullan tells the story of how the singer and the person he meets started dancing and fell in love with each other's unique dance style. The singer seems surprised that he found someone special when he wasn't looking for love. He describes the woman as a rare sight, with her Auburn hair and summer dress. She catches his attention, and he can't help but pay attention to her every move. They dance together, and the singer is fascinated by her individual way of dancing. He admires her strength and her confidence as she moves to the music, never breaking their eye connection. He feels a strong attraction towards her, like she's the drug he can't get enough of. He longs to know what she's thinking and to fulfill her every desire. He spends the night dancing with her, never having a plan and never needing to think it over, lost in the moment. As the night draws to a close, the singer promises to keep her warm and to walk her home, hoping to do it all over again the next day.
The song is an ode to the uninhibitedness of dancing, how it can bring people together, and how it can express emotions in a way words never could. It's a story about finding someone you connect with both physically and emotionally and how that person becomes everything you want and need. The lyrics convey the feeling of nervousness and excitement that comes with meeting someone new, and the anticipation of being with them again after spending time dancing with them.

This song is probably the saddest song ever written. I first heard it after a dear friend lost her significant other to Covid. She couldn't visit him. He would call her and beg her to come see him. He was hospitalized for 30 days and passed away on the 31st day. I'll never forget the sound of her voice when she called to tell me. She couldn't speak but I knew. I cannot listen to this song without thinking about their situation. And I cry every time.
