When I Dance - Jonathan Richman

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 stayed

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 all 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 an 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 that record

I didn’t want to know

But then 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
