The Only Dance
The Jets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Paradise wasn't easy to find
And now no changes could be changing our mind
I'm so sure you're in my heart
And nothing in this world could pull us apart
And every day I'll be finding my way
Closer and closer to you
And we do
Chorus:
The only dance there is
Sharing each other, me and you
And I'm never gonna let you go
Always be together
The only dance there is
You and me, now we know
That the rhythm of the love is wrong
It's gonna last forever
Looking back finds me looking around
I was just getting by but I don't know how
Now we fly high, hand in hand
Just you believe in love
And we'll never, never land
>From here I see you are my destiny
Our love's so easy to prove
As we move
Chorus
There may be lonely moments
I'll be there when you call
Tell you now if we stay so in love
We'll never fall
'Cause the love we know is ours (?)
I wanna be your only one




I'll be your only, only one
Chorus x2 'til fade

That the rhythm of a love is one. The rest is pretty much right. I'm also not sure about the ending lol. Cause the love will only know??

Steven Pittman

One of the GREATEST bands of the 1980s!

Donnie Reid

Elizabeth's voice still gives me goose bumps. She's a beautiful singer. Her voice is heavenly. If I get the money one day I'm hiring her to sing for me.

Melissa Red

A great rare gem of a song

Tony Nayenga

This is a forever wedding song🎶💯❤️

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT, RTD.

This song should have been a single, but the album already had six singles, so this underrated gem didn't make the cut. Haini and Elizabeth Wolfgramm did a good job on this song as a duet.
