Patrick Swayze
Too Young to Die Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, I couldn't help but notice
You standing by the door
I know that you don't know this
Girl, I want you to show me
Your fire on the floor
I know that you don't know me
But i've seen you before
In the movies in my dreams
In fashion magazine
You make me wanna scream!
Cause you're... Just like AC/DC
You rocked my world tonight
I'm no Patrick Swayze
But i wanna dance, I wanna dance all night

Girl, I couldn't help but notice
You standing by the door
I know that you don't know this
Girl, I want you to show me
Your fire on the floor
I know that you don't know me
But i've seen you before
In the movies in my dreams
In fashion magazine
You make me wanna scream!
Cause you're... Just like AC/DC
You rocked my world tonight
I'm no Patrick Swayze
But i dream my baby right
Just like AC/DC
We rocked the world tonight
I'm no Patrick Swayze
But I wanna dance, I wanna dance all night
I wanna dance all night

Just like AC/DC
You rocked my world tonight
I'm no Patrick Swayze
But I dream my baby right
Just like AC/DC
We rocked the world tonight




I'm no Patrick Swayze
But I wanna dance, I wanna dance all night

Overall Meaning

The song "Patrick Swayze" by Too Young to Die is an upbeat rock track that is an ode to a captivating woman that the singer has just seen. The lyrics talk about how the woman has swung open the door of the club and caught the singer's attention. He admits that he doesn't know her, but he wants her to show him her moves on the dance floor. There's an air of mystery around her as he feels like he's seen her before in the movies and fashion magazines, hence the song's name.


The singer compares the woman to the legendary rock band AC/DC, who have similarly rocked his world. He admits that he's no Patrick Swayze (the late actor and dancer known for his role in "Dirty Dancing"), but he dreams of dancing with her all night. The song has a catchy chorus that emphasizes the singer's desire to dance with her.


Overall, the song is about the electrifying effect that someone can have on another person, and how they can inspire them to let loose and dance the night away.
