Song title: When you dance
When you dance - Version 1
When you dance
I hear the music rocking everywhere
When you dance
I see the lights shining through your hair
When you dance
The band is blowing like a hurricane
When you dance
You look so fine but you don’t know my name
Come near baby, don’t be afraid
Just one taste won’t do
I can’t hold back one more day
Sugar I know I got to dance with you
When you dance
Your smile ain’t hiding what you’re thinking of
When you dance
Your body trembles like you’re making love
When you move, baby
My soul is aching and my blood runs hot
Run into me now
My heart is breaking, shaking what you got
Come near baby, don’t be afraid
Just one taste won’t do
I can’t hold back one more day
Sugar I know I got to dance with you
Shake ‘em down now
Come near baby, don’t be afraid
Just one taste won’t do
I can’t hold back one more day
Sugar I know I got to dance with you
Oh yeah baby
When you dance
I hear the music rocking everywhere
When you dance, baby
This time you tumble, honey, I don’t care
When you dance Notes:
Live 1970-72
When you dance - Version 2
Well when you dance
Ah come on mama, hold me tight
Lets make romance
Ah kiss me baby in the night
Oh well when you move
Don't ya know I love it so
It's such a groove
Well when they turn the lights down low
Well come on mama, don't be afraid
There's no need to stand back
Come on baby, hold me close (I won't do ya no harm)
Come on mama, dance (Come on mama, come on won't ya dance)
Well when you smile
Ah don't you know ya drive me wild
Don't know why
I want ya for my partner child
And when you love
Our love shakes the heavens above
And Lord above
I want you for my only love only
Come on mama don't be afraid
There's no need to stand back
You know baby I'll be true
Baby you know that's where I'm at Notes:
