| Would you please,
|
| would you dance with me,
|
| my darling would you please take a chance with me,
|
| I see you over there with the jocks,
|
| I see you over there with the rich boys,
|
| I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
|
| and I’m asking one thing…
|
| Back in the day I used to rock the MC Hammer pants
|
| jump in the middle of the party bust the running man
|
| doing the Roger Rabbit at the middle school dance
|
| got my man next to the bleachers now that’s where we stand
|
| walk up to the girl like «now will you dance with me?»
|
| she’s like «well listen you’ll never ever have a chance with me I got a boyfriend and he’s at like six foot three
|
| 250 pounds and he could beat you up in his sleep
|
| and I’m like «well really what’s that got to do with me?»
|
| I don’t see him around here so why don’t you just come with me
|
| I’ll get you some fruit punch maybe some cookies
|
| I got the new Vanilla Ice tape how can you not love me?
|
| she’s like «well first off all your pants is straight ugly
|
| you can’t dance and your personality just bug’s me so back up off me cause I really got’s to let you know
|
| that my boyfriend’s right over there ohh I got to go Would you please,
|
| would you dance with me,
|
| my darling would you please take a chance with me,
|
| I see you over there with the jocks,
|
| I see you over there with the rich boys,
|
| I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
|
| and I’m asking one thing…
|
| I grew up in Inglewood a little brown boy
|
| had straight hair and I rocked corduroy
|
| walked down Venice way in my own way
|
| wasn’t very popular with the girls in 5th grade
|
| they used to call me nerd
|
| that was even if they used to call me at all
|
| across the school hall I put my head and thought
|
| what could I do to pursue and fought
|
| in my own mind was a struggle of sorts
|
| school was a game and I was off court
|
| on the bench and the coach wouldn’t let me off once
|
| I sat in the corner of the yard like a dunce
|
| and all I ever wanted was the girl to have lunch
|
| maybe in the cafeteria with some punch
|
| but it didn’t happen I didn’t have heart
|
| cause I knew how it would end from the start and then I asked…
|
| Would you please,
|
| would you dance with me,
|
| my darling would you please take a chance with me,
|
| I see you over there with the jocks,
|
| I see you over there with the rich boys,
|
| I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
|
| and I’m asking one thing…
|
| when I was growing up it was hard to be happy
|
| kids knock the books out my hand and make fun of my acne (exactly)
|
| give me a wedgie while they throw spitballs at me and stuff me in my own locker and laugh at me
|
| (ahhhh ha.) oh you think that’s real funny
|
| cause I’m 5 foot with huge feet and I dress crummy
|
| and all the school bullies want to just take my lunch money
|
| c’mon man I only got a dollar twenty
|
| ya know ya life is just really sad man
|
| when you play dodge ball your picked as the last man
|
| and ya run as fast as ya can just like a mad man
|
| cause the football team wants to throw you in the trash can
|
| so really will this madness ever end
|
| really will the nerd ever get revenge?
|
| will this girl call me back at around ten?
|
| will you go out w/ me? |
| I just want to be friends
|
| Would you please,
|
| would you dance with me,
|
| my darling would you please take a chance with me,
|
| I see you over there with the jocks,
|
| I see you over there with the rich boys,
|
| I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
|
| and I’m asking one thing…
|
| Now days I’m a little older plus a little bolder
|
| but it seems like I just can’t get over
|
| you ever have a day where nothing goes right
|
| well that just seems to be the story of my whole entire life
|
| so anybody out there know what I mean?
|
| to feel like your third string on a football team?
|
| and ya never ever gonna reach any of your dreams?
|
| and your only hope is making onion rings at burger king
|
| but now a days a lot of things done changed
|
| since Christ came into my life now and just rearranged
|
| the way I look at myself son it aint the same
|
| I drive in a whole 'nother lane going against the grain
|
| I know it might just seem a little strange
|
| the fact remains I changed when I called on his name
|
| so call me a nerd call me lame it don’t matter to me see all I need to know is that my wife will dance with me Would you please,
|
| would you dance with me,
|
| my darling would you please take a chance with me,
|
| I see you over there with the jocks,
|
| I see you over there with the rich boys,
|
| I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
|
| and I’m asking one thing… |
