Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
So they say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
I said, oh my God I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes
Just like a monkey I've been dancing my whole life
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time
Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So they say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
Ooh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, oh
Ooh
Ah ah, ah
They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
All again
The lyrics of Tones & I/Dj Noiz's song "Dance Monkey" are about an instant attraction that the singer or the singer feels towards someone that they don't know. The lyrics begin with the singer saying that he/she has noticed the person's shining personality and asks the person to take his/her hand. The singer recalls how the person caught his/her attention while passing by, and they beg the person to dance just one more time. The second verse is sung from the perspective of the other person who says that they have noticed The singer walking by and takes the singer's hands and look into their eyes. The other person dances like a monkey, and the singer wants to see the other person dance one more time.
The chorus repeats the same lines, where the singer asks the other person to dance and move for him/her while promising to make him/her do it all over again when they are done.
The song may be interpreted as a celebration of instant attraction that sometimes happens between two people who meet for the first time. The lyrics describe a desire to dance, be free and enjoy the moment without any inhibitions.
