Lyrics Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman

When I Dance

Things were slow, a little slow

And I was at the kind of party

Where I said I wouldn't go

But in the moon, I stay

And then I didn't blush at all

At the scene I made.

Well, they're all in my trance

When I dance

The way I move myself around

And they're all in my trance

When I dance.

I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro

In fact I barely move at all

Compared to certain guys you know

But if you look and see

You'll see they won't watch them

The same way they watch me

And they're all in my trance

When I dance

The way I move myself around

And they're all in my trance

When I dance.

Well, when I dance that's passion

And when I dance that's love

And there's times I cause that attraction

Well then I don't try to start

I just don't try to stop

And I don't blush cause I like it like that

Things were slow, a little slow

And when they put on a record I didn't want to know

But soon I stood against my will

I heard an old time song and I could not sit still

And they're all in my trance

When I dance

The way I move myself around

And they're all in my trance

When I dance.
