They say, oh my God I see the way you shine
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again

I said, oh my God I see you walking by
Take my hands, my dear, and look me in my eyes
Just like a monkey I've been dancing my whole life
But you just beg to see me dance just one more time

Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

So they say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again

They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again

Ooh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, oh
Ooh
Ah ah, ah

They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again

They say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say, move for me, move for me, move for me, ay-ay
And when you're done, I'll make you do it all again
All again
