Said “You should take me dancin’” So we went and wore me out
Then when all the lights were dimming and music drowned us out
You stole a kiss from the pretty girl that stood in the middle of the room
And then we kept on dancin’ ‘till our feet were turnin’ blue
Well I guess it’s just a lesson I should keep all to myself
But if you wanna take me dancin’, next time take someone else

You’re just so technical, and it’s something I can’t stand
What’s wrong with twirling slow? What’s wrong with holding hands?
I’m not asking for much, just a simple one-on-one
Just wanted to go dancing, just wanted to have fun
But you had to get existential, and you had to quote the band
I just wanted a nice strong beat, never wanted a music man

No, you should never go dancing with a musician
All they do is criticize
Everything about the music
When you just want to meet their eyes
They don’t want to let it go
And they don’t want to just hold on
While you’re dancing to the music
They just go on and on

It’s a simple problem I’m facin’, that I can’t quite get around
I wanted to get lost in music, I wanted to join in with the crowd
So please, just take me dacin’, I need to twist and turn
Don’t let it get to you, darlin’, I just need to let it burn

All I see are spinning blurs
All I hear are disco beats
All you see are cords and plugs
All I see are lights and heat
