Dance with Me
T.S.O.L. (True Sounds Of Liberty) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
We're sorry the number you have dialed

Clock strikes upon the hour
The hour has struck on a clock
And the sun begins to fade
The sun is starting to set
Still enough time to figure out
There is still time to understand
How to chase my blues away
To find a way to alleviate sadness
I've done alright up 'til now
Things have been going well until this point
It's the light of day that shows me how
The day helps me see clearly

At nighttime

Spinning through the town
Moving around the city quickly
Sooner or later the fever ends
Eventually, the intense feeling subsides
And I wind up feeling down
I end up feeling sad
I need a man who'll take a chance
I need a man who is willing to take a risk
On a love that burns hot enough to last
On a passionate love that can endure
So when the night falls
At nighttime
My lonely heart calls
I feel lonely in my heart
We're sorry the number you have dialed
