"When I Dance" lyrics

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers Lyrics

"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 mood I stayed
And then I didn't blush at all at the scene I made

I have 'em all in my trance
When I dance, the way I move myself around
I have 'em all in my trance
When I dance

And I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
In fact I barely move at all compared to a lot of guys you know
And if the music isn't right that day
Well, my little body hardly has anything to say

But they're all in my trance
When I dance, yeah, the way I move myself around
Well, they're all in my trance
When I dance

Jonathan, why do you think?
Well now, when I dance, that's passion
And when I dance, that's love
And sometimes I caught an attraction
That I don't try to start, I just don't try to start
And I don't blush because I like it, I like it

I'm not a pro, I'm not a pro
In fact I barely move at all compared to a lot of guys you know
And if the music isn't right that day
Well, my little body hardly has anything to say

But they're all in my trance
When I dance, yeah, the way I move myself around
I said they're all in my trance
The way I dance

Things were slow, a little slow
In fact when they put on the record, I didn't wanna know
But in a minute and a half, you see
They were watching each other, they were watching me

They're all in my trance
When I dance, yeah, the way I move myself around
Well, they're all in my trance
The way I dance
