Will Tura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Op het einde van de week
Hoor je in elke discotheek
Liedjes uit de USA
De DJ roept 'hé dans je mee'
Een meisje keek me lachend aan
En zei: 'kom laat je nu maar gaan'
Oh yeah
Kom doe de line dance

Kom doe de line dance
Kom doe de line dance
Jong en oud die dansen met ons mee
Tegen deze dans zeg je geen nee yeah
Maar die avond ging voorbij
't Was gedaan voor jou en mij
'Nou tot ziens' zei jij toen zacht
En verdween toen in de nacht
Ik hoop dat ik je nog eens zie
Jou ogen die vergeet ik niet
Oh yeah!
Kom doe de line dance
Iedereen die danst toch met ons mee
Tegen deze dans zeg je geen nee
(instrumentaal)
Kom doe de line dance

Jong en oud die dansen met ons mee
Tegen deze dans zeg ik geen nee
