Sway
The Rat Pack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now




You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

He's singing.
He's drinking.
He's smoking.
He's flirting.
He's flexing.
He's enjoying it.
That's a real rizz.
What a guy.
