Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
[Verse 2]
Dance with me
Oh, hold me closer
Closer and closer
Much closer
While the music play
[Verse 3]
My little darling
Won't you dance with me?
Oh, hold me tighter
Tighter and tighter
Much tighter
While the rhythm sways
[Verse 4]
Put your lips to mine
While the music blends
We're no longer strangers
But now we're more than friends, so
[Verse 5]
Dance with me
Dance with me closer
Closer and closer
And maybe
We'll be lovers
When the music ends
[Verse 6]
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
[Verse 7]
Dance with me
Dance with me closer
Closer and closer
And maybe
We'll be lovers
When the music ends
[Verse 8]
Darling, won't you please?
Now, darling, won't you please?
Oh, darling won't you please?
[Verse 9]
Oh, girl
