Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And you know
Yes, you know
Yes, you know
[Verse 2]
My name like Dante
I cannot resist when you pass my way
Your name beauty in the dark
I'm standin' through the fog, tryna find where ya are
You gotta take my hand, you got to at least gimme this one chance
I been waitin' all night, don't be cruel, girl, it's only right
[Verse 3]
(Oh)
I been watchin', and waitin'
All night long, and now they're playin' this song
And you know
And you know
[Verse 4]
I've been wantin' to groove
You gotta take my hand
(Speak your mind)
And gimme this one chance
(You been thinkin' all of this time)
I can see it in your eyes
(What I wouldn't do)
And baby, I don't mind
(Oh, I)
[Verse 5]
It's a beautiful thing, 'specially when we can rock and sway
When you're in my arms
I'm smellin' your hair and I'm feelin' all your charms
Baby, please come close
Don't let me go
Baby, hold me tight, we can rock like this all night
[Verse 6]
(Oh)
I been watchin', and waitin'
All night long (So long)
And now they're playin' this song
Aw, baby, baby
And you know, you know
[Verse 7]
My name like Dante
I cannot resist when you come my way
Your name beauty in the dark
I'm standin' through the fog, tryna find where ya are
You gotta take my hand, and, baby, at least gimme this one dance
[Verse 8]
Groove with you
My name like Dante
(Watchin', I been watchin')
You are the beauty in the dark
You gotta take my hand, and, baby, baby
Please, gimme just one chance
Groove with you
(I wanna groove)
[Verse 9]
My name like Dante
I cannot resist when you pass my way
(I wanna groove)
Your name beauty in the dark
I'm standin' through the fog, tryna find where ya are
(I wanna groove)
You gotta take my hand, and baby, baby
Please, gimme just one chance
I swear I do, I swear I do, I swear I do
To groove
[Verse 10]
My name like Dante
(I been thinkin', you been thinkin', thinkin' of me)
You are the beauty in the dark
(I wanna groove, groove with you)
You gotta take my hand, and baby, baby
Please, gimme just one chance
[Verse 11]
Hey
My name like Dante
(I been watchin', you been watchin', watchin' me, babe)
You are the beauty in the dark
(I wanna groove, groove with you)
And I wanna groove
[Verse 12]
(I wanna groove)
My name like Dante
(I wanna groove)
You are the beauty in the dark
I've been waitin' all night
Sounds so good, I just
Had to say somethin'
Would you mind?
[Verse 13]
Groove with you
Like Dante
Come closer then that, it's cool
Groove with you
Beauty in the dark (I don't bite)
Not yet
You gotta take my hand, and baby at least gimme this one dance
[Verse 14]
Wow, I wish
I wish I'd have said somethin' earlier
It've been nice to dance with except for the whole song
Maybe I'll play the song again
Oh, lovely
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, love
It's my favorite song
