Once again
S.T.D Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waltz me once again
"Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
Dance me over by that bandstand
'Cause I love that twin fiddle sound
When we're dancin' close
Cheek to cheek
My head gets woozy

And my knees get weak
Waltz me once again
'Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
It's Friday night
And the joint is swingin'
Inside these swingin' doors
And all the cowpokes they're a dancin'
And slippin' 'round this sawdust floor

But you better watch out
Who you let cut in
'Cause you might loose your baby
To your best friend
Well, waltz me once again
'Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round

We spin around, 'round and 'round
Dancin' all night long
The music stopped at three o`clock
But some fool turned that jukebox on

Waltz me once again
'Round the dance floor We'll dance all night long

Line by Line Meaning

Waltz me once again
Request to dance together again

Round that dance floor
Move through the circular dance floor

Make my head go spinnin' 'round
Feel dizzy and joyful

Dance me over by that bandstand
Move towards the music band

'Cause I love that twin fiddle sound
Enjoy the music created by two violins played together

When we're dancin' close
Dancing intimately

Cheek to cheek
Having faces close to each other

My head gets woozy
Feel confused and giddy

And my knees get weak
Feel physically weak due to joy and excitement

It's Friday night
The weekend has started

And the joint is swingin'
The place is full of people having fun
