Lyrics

Be my lady, be my lady tonight
Be my lady, 'cause you're a dancing machine
Be my lady, you're such a lovely lady
Be my lady, let's dance all night
I stepped down on the town just to look around
To see what I could see
There you were on the floor like the night before
Is it love coming over me, ow
I've been watching your dance, girl
And I've been watching you move, yeah
I'm just waiting the chance, baby
To get a little closer to you, oh, baby
Be my lady, be my lady tonight
Be my lady, 'cause you're a dancing machine
Be my lady, you're such a lovely lady
Be my lady, let's dance all night
What I want is your name, give it to me, girl
'Cause you look just that good to me, yeah
Like your style and your smile
Can we talk awhile
You're the key to my fantasy, see, baby
I've been watching your dance, girl
And I've been watching you move
I'm just waiting the chance, baby
To get a little closer to you, oh, see, baby
Be my lady, be my lady tonight
Be my lady, 'cause you're a dancing machine
Be my lady, you're such a lovely lady
Be my lady, let's dance all night
No other woman
Can do these things to me
I want you and you only
'Cause that's the way I feel it should be, oh baby
Be my lady, be my lady tonight
Be my lady, 'Cause you're a dancing machine
Be my lady, you're such a lovely lady
Be my lady, let's dance all night
Let's dance and swing
Come on baby, do your good thing, oh yeah
(I want to dance, baby I do)
(I want a chance, baby with you) I want you tonight
(I want to dance, baby I do)
(I want a chance, baby with you)
Let's dance (be my lady)
And swing
Come on girl (be my lady) dance with me
Let's dance (be my lady) ooh sweet girl
Ooh ooh baby (be my lady)
Come on and dance with me baby (be my lady)
I want to dance, (be my lady) baby I do
I want a chance, (be my lady) baby with you
I want to dance, (be my lady) baby I do
I want a chance, (be my lady) baby with you
I want to dance, baby I do
I want a chance, baby with you
I want to dance, baby I do
I want a chance, baby with you
