Can You Dance
Shanice Lyrics

I see you in the corner starin' in space
I notice you standing alone with a bored expression.

Actin' like you're groovin' with the look upon your face
You're pretending to dance, but not actually doing it, based on your expression.

I see you smilin' at me, you want to know my name
I notice you smiling at me, indicating that you want to speak with me.

But if you wanna play, boy, you got to play my game
However, if you wish to pursue me, you must comply with my rules.

What I really want to know Is can you dance
My true intention is to determine if you are capable of dancing.

You're talkin' to your friends about how good I look
You've been conversing with your peers regarding my appearance.

Try to find a number always in the book
You're attempting to gather my contact information from your directory.

Before you come up to me to tell me how you feel
Prior to approaching me to express your emotions.

I'm wiser than my years, so let me tell you what's the deal
Although I'm young, I'm quite knowledgeable and will provide an explanation.

Can you dance
It is important to me that you are able to dance.

I just wanna party, that's what I'm here to do
I have come to this gathering solely to enjoy myself.

I didn't come through to pick up by the likes of you
I did not come here seeking someone like you.

I'll give you a chance and one is all you get
However, I will provide you with an opportunity, but only one chance.

If you think I'm sassy now, boy, you ain't seen nothin' yet
If you perceive me to have an attitude presently, you have yet to witness my full brashness.

I see you groovin' hearty Looks like you're havin' fun
I observe you dancing with enthusiasm and enjoyment.

But if you came to party Start dancin' on the one, get up
However, if you arrived to celebrate, it's essential that you begin dancing appropriately.

If your dance is nothin' You don't need to be here
If your dancing skills are lacking, this venue is not for you.

It ain't about the posin' But the sexy atmosphere, get with it
It's not merely about posing; embracing the sultry ambiance is essential.

You've got to start a fire If you want to put one out
You must first ignite the flame if you intend to extinguish it later.

It's the groove that takes you higher That's what dance is all about
The beat is what elevates the experience; this is the essence of dancing.

Now I'm a busy person No time for playin' games
As a busy individual, I have no desire to participate in games.

But if I know you're serious I'll tell you what's my name, Shanice
However, if I am aware of your genuine intentions, I will inform you of my identity, Shanice.

Can you dance Whoa, can you dance Tell me, tell me, tell me can you dance
Reiterating that dancing capability is a critical attribute.
