I don't want to be the kind to hesitate
Be too shy, way too late
I don't care what they say other lovers do
I just want to dance with you

I got a feeling that you have a heart like mine
So let it show, let it shine
Oh, if we have a chance to make one heart of two
Then I just want to dance with you

I want to dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That's what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you

I want to dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you

I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you
Yes, I did, ain't that true?
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do
I just want to dance with you

Oh, the boys are playing softly and the girls are too
So am I, and so are you
If this was a movie then we're right on cue
I just want to dance with you
