Lyrics When I Dance - 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 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
