Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Having troubles tellin' how I feel
But I can dance, dance, dance
Couldn't possibly tell you how I mean
But I can dance, dance, dance
[Verse 2]
So when I trip on my feet, look at the beat
It was all written in the sand
When I'm shaking my hips, look for the swing
The words are written in the air
[Verse 3]
Oh, dance, I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
[Verse 4]
Easy conversations, no such thing
No, I'm shy, shy, shy
My hips, they lie 'cause in reality, aye
I'm shy, shy, shy
[Verse 5]
But when I trip on my feet, look at the ground
The words are written in the dust
When I'm shaking my hips, look for the swing
The words are written in the air
[Verse 6]
Oh, dance, I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
[Verse 7]
Oh, dance, I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
[Verse 8]
Dance, dance, dance
Oh, I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
[Verse 9]
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
I was a dancer all along
No words can never make up for what you do
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
