The Dancer
The Dooleys Lyrics

You have the language of the beat
You understand how music and rhythm work together

You have the word beneath your feet
Your sense of rhythm is so strong, it feels like the ground is speaking through the pulses under your feet

You're the dancer
You are an amazing dancer

You've got music in your mind
You constantly hear music in your head

You've got the rhythm and the time
You can naturally feel and stay in time with any music

And I wanna dance in your eyes
I want to physically connect with you through the art of dance

I wanna win the first prize
I want to impress you and be successful in my pursuit of you

I'm learning every step
I'm committed to getting better at dancing and winning you over

But I haven't won you yet
Unfortunately, I have not yet captured your affection

Guess I'll have to take the tie
Perhaps I'll have to settle for a tie or a draw to earn your favor

Just to try to make you mine
I'm willing to do what it takes to win your love

You've got that something on the floor
There's something about your dancing that captivates and allures me

That keeps me coming back for more
Watching you dance makes me want to see more and be near you

Try movin' closer to my heart
I want you to get closer to me emotionally

I know I'm never going to part
I feel we are meant to be together

From the dancer
Because of the way you dance

You know I wanna dance
I really want to dance with you

And feel you close to me
I want to feel your body as we dance together

If only you could see
I wish you could understand how I feel about you

That every part of my devotion
My love for you is all-encompassing

Is going through the motion?
Am I just going through the motions, or are my feelings genuine?

Can you feel my body sway?
Can you sense the emotion in my dance moves?

Can you hear me when I say?
Do you really listen when I express my feelings?

That I want to make you mine
I desire to be your partner, your lover, your significant other

Guess I'll have to take the time
I'll need some patience to earn your love

Dance the way I move
Please match my dance moves and steps

Around the style
We can adapt to any dance style as long as we are together

Grace, the rhythm and the beat
Let's dance with grace, feel the rhythm, and move to the beat

(He's the dancer)
You can trust me because I'm also a great dancer

The beat beneath my feet
I can feel the music and the rhythm with my feet

You wand some more (sure)
If you want more dancing, I'm ready

Then just use some of that floor
We have enough space to dance and express ourselves

You have to lay me down the beat
You set the rhythm and I'll follow

You have to work it in your feet
You have to feel the rhythm and use your feet to express yourself

Show the dancers
Impress everyone with your dance moves

You're the dancer
You are the star of the show, the main attraction on the dance floor

So guard the music your mind
Hold onto the music and let it inspire you

You've got the rhythm in your mind
Your sense of timing and rhythm is innate

Show the dancer
Impress everyone with your dance moves
