I wanna dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Hey independent man
Won't you dance with me
Dance
He walks out on the floor
And picks the prettiest girl
And when the music plays
He is lost in another world
Independent man
Take my hand
Dance with me
Independent man
Dance with me
Watching
He's a sweet imaginary vision
Some kind of wonder of precision
We'll fly higher than the rest
He always gives his best
Independent man
Take my hand
Dance with me
Independent man
Dance with me
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Hey independent man
Won't you dance with me
Dance
He walks out on the floor
And picks the prettiest girl
And when the music plays
He is lost in another world
Independent man
Take my hand
Dance with me
Independent man
Dance with me
Watching
He's a sweet imaginary vision
Some kind of wonder of precision
We'll fly higher than the rest
He always gives his best
Independent man
Take my hand
Dance with me
Independent man
Dance with me
