I Came To Dance

Well, my manager kept tellin' me

If I wanna be great

I'd better wise up

And sing my songs straight

I said, "Hey fool,

In order to survive

I gotta be my dirty self

I won't play no jive!"

He told me he'd quit

I said, "Don't jump to conclusions!

Maybe bein' staight ain't the right solution.

I'm not Bob Dylan,

But I never miss a beat.

I ain't no philosopher.

I dance in the street"

Well, I came to dance

Yes, I came to dance

It's a rhythm romance

I'm havin' with my shoes

I've got nothin' to lose

(Whispered: I came to dance)

(Guitar solo)

Well, I came to dance

Yes, I came to dance

It's a rhythm romance

I'm havin' with my shoes

I've got nothin' to lose

Woo!

(Whispered by backup singers)

I came to dance

I came to dance

I came to dance

I came to dance

I took the matter up

With a few million friends of mine

The supreme court of rock and roll

Is doing just fine

Demanding a speech

They poured me a drink

I play guitar all night and day

Just don't ask me to think

I came to dance (I came to dance)

Oh, it's a rhythm romance (I came to dance)

Yes, I came to dance

Oh, I've got a story

(Repeat Verse 1 - Spoken, not sung)

Well, my manager kept tellin' me

If I wanna be great

I'd better wise up

And sing my songs straight

I said, "Hey fool,

In order to survive

I gotta be my dirty self

I won't play no jive!"

I came to dance

Yeah, I came to dance

(Repeat CHORUS w/ slight variations to fade)

I came to dance

Yes, I came to dance

It's a rhythm romance...
