Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Dance with me

Come on, dance with me, baby

Dance with me

Come on, dance with me, baby

Dance with me

Come on, dance with me, baby

Dance with me

Come on, dance with me, baby

[Verse 2]

I want you and you want me

So why don’t we get together after the dance?

[Verse 3]

All right (What a freak)

(Looking good)

When I first (Saw you smile)

You were looking good on the Soul Train, so good

Oh I, I can't stop (Looking for you)

Sweet little ride (You were dancin' good)

Oh, yes she was (Spinnin' everywhere)

[Verse 4]

Ooh, and I thought to myself (Slick on the floor)

She is so fine (I started to dance)

Baby, ooh (Dancin' on)

She was moving so free (I wondered if she)

What she needs is me (If she'd go for me)

[Verse 5]

I want you and you want me

So why don’t we get together after the dance?

[Verse 6]

While we dancin', let the record play, girl

You were so fine, the way you move me

My eyes told me what, baby

Oh baby, they whispered vibes between you and me

[Verse 7]

We started talkin'

Oh, you started talkin' to me and my sweet lovin', baby

You're nobody else's, nobody but my love, baby

And that's how I feel, I want you

I want you and take you with me

What you gonna do?

[Verse 8]

Oh, I want you, oh, and you want me

So why don't we get together after the dance?

[Verse 9]

All right, ooh (Dance with me)

Join me, baby (Dance with me, baby)

Saw you (Dance with me)

Spinnin' around (Dance with me, baby)

Oh, baby (Dance with me)

Cheeks caught my eyes (Dance with me, baby)

Things have crossed my mind, hey babe (Dance with me)

[Verse 10]

I want you and you want me

So why don't we get together after the dance?

I want you and you want me

So why don't we get together after the dance?

Oh, I want you and you want me (Get to know you, baby)

So why don't we get together after the dance?

(Won't you love me, baby?)

I want you and you want me (I'm walkin' out of here with you, baby)

(Oh, take me with you, now)

So why don't we get together after the dance? (We gotta get together)

(Yes, baby) I want you and you want me

(You got to, don't you know I love you, baby?)

So why don't we get together after the dance?

(You know I came back this week)

Oh, I want you, oh, and you want me
