When she asked me to dance I said, "no, no, I have two left feet."
And then she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet
She said, "Hold me as close as you can "my bodies on fire."
It's just a vertical expression, of horizontal desire
So, we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel
And I really can't translate, the way she made me feel
And the music played on, and the mercury just went higher
It's just a vertical expression, of horizontal desire
We did the samba, the mambo
The tango, the two-step, while we romanced
And when the music got fast
We held to each other, and slow danced
I took nothing for granted, but I wished I could stay all night
And as we walked into her place, she reached out to dim the light
She said, "Dance with me darlin', 'til the moon and the stars retire."
It's just a vertical expression, of horizontal desire
It's just a vertical expression, of horizontal desire
