[Verse 1]
Well she was just
Well she was just 17
And you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
[Chorus]
So how could I dance with another
When I saw her standing there
[Verse 2]
Well she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long I’d fall in love with her
[Chorus]
She wouldn’t dance with another
When I saw her standing there
[Verse 3]
Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Well we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I’ll never dance with another
Since I saw her standing there
Well she was just
Well she was just 17
And you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
[Chorus]
So how could I dance with another
When I saw her standing there
[Verse 2]
Well she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long I’d fall in love with her
[Chorus]
She wouldn’t dance with another
When I saw her standing there
[Verse 3]
Well my heart went boom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Well we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I’ll never dance with another
Since I saw her standing there
