せめてひとつだけ言わせてよ
まるで気がくるいそうさ
おまえの目の前でおどけても
いつのまにか Bye Bye
退屈の中おぼれそうさ
オレにあたらしいステップを教えてよ
だから NEW DANCE
だって NEW DANCE

せめて NEW DANCE
おまえのやり方はナイーブで
本当はオレの好みさ
だってわかるだろうオレのこと
平和をとなえる弱者さ Oh yeah
退屈の中おぼれそうさ
オレにあたらしいステップを教えてよ
だから NEW DANCE
だって NEW DANCE
せめて NEW DANCE
退屈の中おぼれそうさ
オレにあたらしいステップを教えてよ
だから NEWDANCE
だって NEW DANCE
せめて NEW DANCE
とびきりスマートな日曜日
アタマはゆうべのままさ
キミの答えは Yes! いつだってそう
サイコーさ
何かを投げ出したままさ・・・Ah
退屈の中おぼれそうさ
オレにあたらしいステップを教えてよ
だから NEW DANCE

だって NEW DANCE
せめて NEW DANCE
