I Came To Dance |
Well, my manager kept tellin' me If I wanna be great |
I’d better wise up And play my songs straight |
I said, «Hey fool, |
In order to survive |
I gotta be my dirty self |
I won’t play no jive!» |
He told me he’d quit |
I said, «Don't jump to conclusions! |
Maybe bein' staight ain’t the right solution. |
I’m not Bob Dylan, |
But I never miss a beat. |
I ain’t no philosopher. |
I dance in the street» |
Well, I came to dance |
Yes, I came to dance |
It’s a rhythm romance |
I’m havin' with my shoes |
I’ve got nothin' to lose |
(Whispered: I came to dance) |
(guitar solo) |
Woo! |
(Whispered by backup singers) |
I came to dance |
I came to dance |
I came to dance |
I came to dance |
I took the matter up With a few million friends of mine |
The supreme court of rock and roll |
Is doing just fine |
Demanding a speech |
They poured me a drink |
I play guitar all night and day |
Just don’t ask me to think |
I came to dance (I came to dance) |
Oh, it’s a rhythm romance (I came to dance) |
I came to dance |
Oh, I’ve got a story |
(Repeat Verse 1 — Spoken, not sung) |
(replace «play my songs straight"with «sing my songs straight» |
I came to dance |
Yeah, I came to dance |
