I Just Want to Dance ©2005 Mark Linskey
See the devil walkin; he’s walkin by my side
I try to turn the other cheek; but he won’t let me slide
I try to explain it to him; but he don’t understand
I ain’t lookin’ for redemption; I just want to dance

I can barely walk sometimes; that don’t mean I can’t move
I can cut a rug, I can break it down; split that girl in two
Hey now baby; I ain’t looking for romance
Come and take a little walk me darlin’; I just want to dance

Lose yourself in the music; burn to the rhythm and the groove
Give me a jungle rhythm and a rock ‘n’ roll beat; & I’ll show you how to move
I’m out to see what I got tonight; I don’t need no second chance
I’m not here to start too much trouble anyway, I just want to dance

Sometimes you gotta tighten up; sometimes you just gotta undulate
Jump back with the spirit of James Brown; do the bird with Morris Day
I didn’t come here to drink; I’m feeling just fine
But if you got it with you; won’t you pass that bottle of wine

That girl on your arm; she’s lookin’ mighty sweet
She looks real good next to you; she’d look even better under me
Step aside little rich boy; she should be with a real man
I don’t mean that in a bad way, I just want to dance
