Dance With the Devil
Steve And Vulvus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been running all night
I've been looking for you
You know I can't get you out of my mind
Since first time that I saw you

And I don't know, what to say
I only know I have to make you stay
So come on give me a chance and don't walk away

You know I need you right here to survive

You have to listen to what I say
Don't walk away, girl
I just want to be with you
I wanna to dance with you
I wanna to love you

I've been all over town
As I'm tracking you down
And I've seen every face in the race
But there's no one like you around

And I don't know, what to say
I only know I have to make you stay
So come on give me a chance and don't walk away
You know I need you right here to survive

You've got to listen to what I say
Don't walk away
I just want to be with you
I wanna dance with you
I wanna to love you
All night, all night, all night, I just want to dance with you

So come on, lady, let's dance
Before this rocker song dies
The boss' big beats on the floor
He's singing 'Spirits in the Night'

And I don't know what to say
I only know I have to make you stay
So come on give me a chance and don't walk away
You know I need you right here to survive

You've got to listen to what I say
Don't walk away
I just want to be with you
I wanna dance with you

I wanna to love you
All night, all night, all night, I just need to love you, girl
