Lyrics
[Verse 1]
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
[Verse 2]
Bells on feet go ting-a-ling-a-linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just like a tear drop
Running from her head
[Verse 3]
Now she's dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago
[Verse 4]
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake, her body fascinates me
I can't look away now
[Verse 5]
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
[Verse 6]
Now she's moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light
[Verse 7]
Closer, closer, she is getting nearer
Soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into a spotlight
She stands lost for speech
[Verse 8]
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
[Verse 9]
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
[Verse 10]
Now the people are staring
Don't know what to think
And we struggle, knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks
[Verse 11]
Can't they understand that I want her
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street
[Verse 12]
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave
